A Question for Joe?

Hi Joe,

Do you want to take this listing international? If so, is there a "targeted" list of countries that you want to start with or is it global anywhere? 

Jeff's Reply: Anywhere works, it's just a list:  https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/shops_outside_USA

At least the link no longer points to a striper/porn site.

If you're looking for a different kind of model,  "Wink, Wink"

I do not think this places exist anymore.

Chicagoland Toys and Hobbies

I've dealt with owner Greg Bosak many times over the years and have always found him to be knowledgeable and very helpful. His father, Richard bought the business in 1972, first in downtown Chicago and then he moved in 1984 to the northwest side of Chicago. Richard retired in 1993 and his son has been running it since then.

UPDATE! The website is hosed and after talking with Greg, it may not be fixed until summer! He had some major software problems and is trying to recover.

However he has an ebay store at  https://www.ebay.com/str/Chicagoland-Hobby which has many offerings available.

G&G Trains Michigan

G&G Trains in Michigan closed, their website says they closed 3/14/2018 and sold all inventory to Blue Ridge Hobbies

Open Hobby Shops...

I really think the idea was to list OPEN hobby shops.  Not sure there's much point in listing shops that have closed.

Oh, hello...

This is what I get for stepping away from the forums for a few hours! 

Thanks for the input - and while I can't say I welcome hearing about shops that have closed, please help me stay up-to-date with those too - I'd prefer not to send anyone to someplace that is closed.
