I purchase a reasonable amount of electronic bits from Rapid both for myself and for the Model Electronic Railway Group (MERG). The web site is easy to use to find components and also to find alternatives when the usual items are out of stock. From my experience the dates for delivery of out of stock items are pessimistic and items often come well before the stated date. The cut and paste order form is very useful as I keep my parts list in Excel and can easily make a list that complies with the xx-xxxx,nn format for very easy ordering. I can thoroughly recommend Rapid.
