Tuesday 3 of my train buddies from the Rappahannock Train Club and I took a ride up to see Mario's new store. WOW, what a beautiful store and full of inventory. Joe greeted us as we came in and made us feel right at home, telling us to take our time and look around at everything. Joe never got tired of answering our many questions, even 2 hours later. Josiah his young employee dressed in Lionel colors was very helpful also. I think Joe said his new store is about 10,000 sq.ft. and it's almost full of trains.
It was definitely worth the trip and the hospitality was great.
When you come into the store you see this cool O gauge layout with a Lionel Halloween train running. Also there is an elevated figure 8 Ho train going. Notice all the orange and white boxes (only the beginning) There is also another room with two more O gauge layouts.
This is really a large accessory rack; I only took the picture of the end.
No shortage of Z4000 transformers. I also saw a stack of CW-80's
Joe and Josiah thanks for a very nice visit and your warm hospitality.
