"Amidst Park Avenue's Chinese grocery stores and restaurants XTC were two train and hobby shops -- Goffman's and the Spot Hobby Shop."
Frenchs was originally on Conkling St. in Highlandtown and then moved to Dundalk. And don't forget about Funks on Ann St., my uncle got the American Flyer bug big time at that store! It was a nice change of pace ate Christmas to go over his house and see his Royal Blue running under his tree and his Marx Girard station with its haunting hollow sounding whistle.

Thank you. I would lean towards Goffman's for some unknown reason but the only thing that I now remember is that it was on the west side of Park and that they had an HO Tru-Scale double crossover hanging on the wall. Funk's was another shop that I heard of but (probably) never went to.
I also remember (and went to a couple of times) was City Wide in Parkville just over the city line.
