Several tin plate shops have come and gone in the Columbus area...The Blue Caboose
was once the location for used tinplate. Closed some years ago, as have two others
I can think of...one in a small town NE of the city, and another in a mall on the west
bypass, plus another north of town that opened when the Blue Caboose closed, but was not open long. Two other general hobby shops have vanished in the last decades. Is the "Ohio RR Museum" that museum north of downtown that once had a section of track they ran interurban rides on? I rode that decades ago, but thought they lost that track and I have not been by there in years, either. Had forgotten about it. There
is a tinplate shop now on Indianola Ave. that parallels I-71 just to the west.
That may be "Moody St." trains. That street has one general hobby shop north of
that and was the location of Blue Caboose. None of this sounds like a positive trend.
