Yesterday's purchase at Dave Minarik's Mercer Junction Train Shoppe, along with matching steel-side cabooses and a couple of Ohio Central Coil Cars. Doing my best to keep the hobby strong!
Allan, Dave's Mercer Junction appears to be a Great place. But, is there not any toy train places left in Youngstown? Back in my day there was Amers, Triggs, Boardman Hobbies, and then TAS. I know they are all gone, but nothings new to place them.
Or is it like Charlotte? When I moved here in 78 there a few very good places. Now for the last 5/7-years absolutely NOTHING. Closest in in Spencer.

There are ZERO hobby shops/train stores in the immediate Youngstown area these days. A couple of area hardware stores have train sections, but there are no dedicated, full-service hobby/train shops.
