Good idea Swinksy, those shops are very cool to visit and even better for someone like Daniel(Ddstoys) to see to work out how much the replacement cost is for the stuff his grand-dad put together.
I gave the link for the Walthers USA company on the other Stern mod thread, which can be a saving of up to 90 percent off aussie prices compared to buying directly from the USA via the internet.

I will be putting in a order thru the USA net site-Walthers, so if anyone wants something that they see at a shop anywhere, or on the Walthers USA website, send me a PM. They have trains new, and trains very very old.
