I have found that many of the hobby stores I have visited seem only interested in helping those in their own«inner circle.» I’ve been to hobby stores where they didn’t even bother interrupting their conversation to help me when I had a quesion and waited patiently… but this was not the case here. I walked in on a snowy day and was greeted warmly by the gentleman who runs the shop. He was very kind, took lots of time to show me different products(I was hoping to make the transition from HO to N-scale). In fact, I brought in an old Lionel O scale locomotive and he took the time to test it, oil it, and get it running again. Not only was he and his friend helpful, they were wonderful conversation, and recommended several local events for me to attend… even though I am a rather unskilled hobbist. Just a top-knotch shop. Very organized, clean, and welcoming. I will return to this shop in the future. They also offered a 10% military discount! Wonderful visit and wonderful experience to meet these folks. Warm and friendly environment. Great selection of new and used train stuff, all scales except 1:1!
