I think LEGO could alleviate this problem by allowing model railroad and
hobby stores to carry the complete line of LEGO trains and some basic
accessories (like track, basic bricks, trees, windows, and such).  These
sorts of stores are used to working with customers to ensure they have
everything they need to accomplish their goal.


LegoDirect said at Brickswest 2002 that they are trying to do this.  Their
(LEGO) shippment system and order fulfillment is NOT setup to handle small
stores (aka train hobby stores).  As such it is a real logistic mess right
now to attempt to bring these types of stores into the LEGO world.  They
know this would be a good "train ave" and are wroking on it but as with all
big companies it TAKES TIME!
