My friend and Charter Member of the San Diego 3-Railers Club, Pete Pearson acquired an AA F3 Union Pacific K-line. He was looking for a B unit which was hard to get but he found out that Western Depot in California had one. So he called them and found out that they didn't have one, but he was given another phone number and found out that it was Eastern Depot in Pennsylvania. Western Depots owner is the brother to the Eastern Depot owner. that blew my mind that ones own a store on the West Coast and East Coast. Eastern Depot had the B-unit on the shelf and the last one so Pete got his B-unit.

Next time you see Pete tell him I said hi.  Used to run trains often with him when we still had the old layout at the museum, but haven't been around that often the past several years due to work & family commitments.

 

Yep, as others have already mentioned, the owners of both the Western Depot & Eastern Depot were brothers, up until Bob's passing a couple of years back where his son runs it now (prior to that I remember he managed the phone store right next door, don't know if that's still the case or not now.
