Don't waste your time.  The original owner died about 10 years ago and the train department has been going downhill ever since.  I don't remember ever seeing any 2-rail O-scale there.

I hadn't been in there since the 90s (I would always go to Dewitt's in Winter Park, but they long ago went out of business) but I don't recall much 'model railroad' stuff so much as 'toy train' oriented, if you get my meaning...

they have a few Weaver cars in 2 rail as they buy collections . Its Florida and not much O scale , not enough room . I knew the owner personally. Before he died (Don) he was one of the original Lionel Service Stations , like #020 . Don was very cool and I got a lot of 2 rail from him as I helped him do installs of Proto 2 so when someone came around with 2 rail I got a call , the last time Don called me , I got a US hobbies SF 4-8-4 and a Max Gray  Big boy  for $1000  for the pair . He had no interest in 2 rail . My all time great was a complete boxed2 rail OO Super detailed Hudson and cars and track , it had been in a woman's closet for 50-60 years, never used except once , her brother had been killed in WW2 and had been there all those years.The coolest Lionel I ever saw .  It is a nice store , I buy stuff there a lot . Family owned for about 50 yrs. I had a shop 1500 sq ft ,  for building O scale custom structures , resin casting , and complete railroads for 15 yrs right on the CSX main line , each year Ringling Bros circus train was parked outside my shop for 3 -4 weeks in Dec. , I went to lunch with Don about 100 times maybe more , I helped him at Xmas time as he tuned up postwar trains , he had one hell of a parts supply for Lionel .

In south orlando is a large CSX yard , I have photographed many trains there to make models of.
