When you're on the road traveling, our new OGR Dealer Locator will show you every OGR dealer near you!

And with ONE MOUSE CLICK you can get DRIVING DIRECTIONS to that dealer!

Here's a screen grab from the page, centered on New York City...

Dealer Page

You can click on any of the red markers and get all the details of that shop at the right of the screen, complete with the link for driving directions to that dealer from your zip code.

If your favorite LHS is not on the OGR Dealer Locator, tell them to contact me and we'll get them set up. They can call 800-980-OGRR (6477) or send me an email. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS HERE.

I know, Rich.... it's the pits. One reason I avoid the Support-the-local-store topics. For me, it's usually Ebay or nothing.  On the other side of the coin, if I do run across something at a farm auction or garage sale there isn't a lot of bidding competition.  Not a lot of trains out here, but do have plenty of fresh air to breathe.

  Looks like Mario's Trains is missing too.

Thanks for the heads up. He's in there now!

Not seeing the local book store, Books A Million, where i get my copy.  Will book stores be added?  

This Dealer Locator is intended to provide you with a list of hobby shops where you can browse other products related to the hobby, as opposed to book stores where you can get our magazine.

However, it's not a bad idea, provided I can get accurate address data for the 200+ stores that carry our magazine. The address data that I have is for the major distributors where we send several thousand copies to one location. They then send the magazines to the individual retail stores. I do not have all those names and addresses. It's the difference between retail and wholesale, so to speak. I have the wholesaler's address, but not the retailers. The wholesaler's address won't do anyone any good.

However it stops at 50 miles.  No locations for 250 and 500.  I know of at least another dozen within that additional stretch. 

What zip code did you search on that yielded those strange results?

Chris Lord posted:

Does it limit the results to the 10 nearest dealers?  That seems to be the most it returns.

It was set to 10. I just changed that setting. Now it will show ALL dealers within your search range.

Just for the fun of it, Part Two     250 Miles

Ouray Train Shops 250 Miles

OGR Forum, Check Part Two / My Michigan Fishing License no good in Colorado.
