I recently bought some Walthers drill bits (#77-79) at a LHS and they were very poor quality with no apparent point and packaged differently than in the past. The shop owner had no comment and I immediately placed a Mc Master Carr order for some high speed steel bits. Has anyone else noted this?

I am busy getting my layout ready for the upcoming NMRA convention here in Portland and just connected up a new power district. The existing one has an older Zephyr, which I will retain as the layout's command station, and the new district has a  DB 150 booster that I just got from "The DCC Shop"  ( my go to source for DCC and track because of low price and outstanding service).
