I may sound stupid asking this on the main forum but what the **** does “LHS” mean. I am new to this train hobby and dont know the terms yet. This may sound stupid but I think it stands for “local highschool” I know Im wrong but its a guess.
Local Hobby Shop.

Correct.
Thanks. NO ONE HAS TO POST ON THIS TOPIC ANYMORE NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS THANKS AGAIN!!!
Now Selector or Bergie needs to lock it so no one can ever post hear again.
No need to lock this thread.
How about LTS?

Local Train Show?

Local Train Shop. The difference being that a LHS will also carry other hobby items like model cars, RC equpitment and the like. A local Train Shop is exclusive to Trains (and quite rare).

How about LSMFT - if you remember cigarette commercials.
Or - FKPH&W - if you’ve ever read the novel MASH.
Or - TCP - if you ever thought Chevron Gas really had a detergent quality. (I was told that TCP meant “Two Cups Phillips”).
It seems the acronymns abound, lately…or, perhaps, they’ve always been with us. IMHO, they have re-surfaced STS (so-to-speak). TTFN, ISYL, GLTA (good luck to all)!
TOC (the other Chip)
Since I live in a city called Lawrenceburg, it stands for Lawrenceburg High School.
And here I thought it was something out of the Obama camp: Let Hillary Suffer
Lucky Strike Means Fine Tabacco.
And I’ve never smoke in my life. It was also along time before I was born. It’s that silly trivial stuff that sticks with me… now, if I could only remember my kids birthdays.[;)]
& according to my best bud’s dad (who passed away a little over a year ago) who grew up in the era (graduated in '61 or '62) & was a self admitted “greaser” & “hot rodder” at the time, informed us it also meant something else quite [censored]
Sorry about that-ANYWAYS, the one “abbreviation” that’s had me scratching my head trying to figure out is “IRRHC” or “IRRC”-I forget what it its exactly. I’ve tried to use context thinking, but still haven’t figured it out. [%-)]
I’m a graduate of LHS (Laramie High School). My nephew graduated from a different LHS, here in Logan, Utah. BTW I know of three LTSs in Utah, one each in Ogden, Salt Lake City (aka SLC), and Orem.

I thought politicts was not to be discussed. [#ditto]
LSMFT - Loose Suspenders Mean Falling Trousers
An LHS can sometimes mean Local Hardware Store. There’s one on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with a train section. Mostly, though, it’s a reminder that much of what you need, like paints, brushes, plaster, etc., can be found far more economically in other venues without the word “hobby” on the jar to double the price.
Or, then there’s the philosophical nature of the beast. It’s more than just a brick-and-mortar shop with shelves and counters. In the right hands, it’s a library, a classroom, a fix-it shop, a museum and a gathering place, akin to the neighborhood tavern, but (usually) without the drinks and food. The reason a good LHS can withstand the onslaught of the Internet is service. It’s worth a little more to keep a good one in business. Yeah, sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name.
Huh???
