This is mainly for Utah members...

I was just wondering if anyone knows what happened to Warren's Train Shop at the Union Station in Ogden?

I went there today and all I found was a big, empty room...

Out of Business

Financial issues unrelated to the hobby business itself led to closure of the shop.  They've been closed for a few months.  I take most of my business now to the Train Shoppe in Salt Lake.

Warren's

When I was in Ogden at the end of July, they were having a clearance sale. I believe that the couple who were part of the partnership running the shop still do train shows.  I know that a previous attempt to sell the store failed when the putative buyer kind of sold off inventory but didn't pay any bills.

Thanks!

Thanks, Joe and Rob!

First Almosta and now Warrens... sigh.

But wait...

Ben at Almosta Junction is still in business, with limited hours.  Call him to see if he's in.  He doesn't carry any stock to speak of these days but will handle orders.

Thanks!

Thanks, Rob. That's good to know. I really enjoyed going to Almosta Junction, even if it was to just chat with Ben for a while.

Does he still have the O scale layout there?
