I think I've lived through four ends to the world so far

Well, obviously everyone doesn't share your opinoin. I can't imagine a hobby shop in Manhattan in the day and age. But, if he stayed in business all those years he did something right. I never thought that everyone did But you obviously never met the guy or bought anything there If you did I guaran...

I dont know who loved that retailer but not many New Yorkers did. Have no idea how he lasted as long as he did. Prices were outrageous and the owner was a nasty old man

Digging through a box of my old photos, found this shot of Allegheny Central #1286 at Frostburg, Maryland, back in October 1990: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55444460718_8b88277e3c_b.jpg In the early days of the line that would become Western Maryland Scenic, the ex-Canadian Pacific #1286 sp...

What most in the club did was use the smal...

Real close to finding a new space Its a little smaller but excited from starting from scratch

Oh yeah 20 years of hard work is coming to an end soon. Not looking forward to taking it down I found that club through this forum in 2004 when the president posted the need for new members. If anybody wants to make it on Jan 18 come on down
