Whenever I have the chance I try to visit O gauge stores. I really appreciate those that have in store layouts. What have you seen and where? I like RO's but ready to roll in Miami is pretty good also. My LHS the Depot in Lantana, FL is nice for a small store... it's pretty nice. Tell me some I should visit please?

Haven't seen it face-to-face [yet] but from the photos I've seen, Dave's layout at Mercer (Mercer, PA) Junction looks pretty nice.
Closer to home, The Train Shack (Burbank, CA) has a pretty nice small O gauge layout in their store.
T&K hobby in Bridgeport, Ohio has a beautiful layout.
I agree Ready to Roll has a great store layout with a clever track plan. Here are some pics of Ready to Roll.
I'd add Stockyard Express just outside Cleveland. Here are a few iPhone photos to wet your whistle!!!
Almost forgot. How about Mr. Muffin's train shop in Indianapolis!!! Get on YouTube and watch the videos. It will blow you away!!
I have been down to Ready To Roll in north Miami FL a few times and I like their layout. They have DCS hooked up to the layout. I had my MTH T-1 tested one time on their layout, didn't bring my cell phone for a photo as I forgot.
Also have been to the Depot Hobby Shop in Lantana. Don't know if The Depot has any command control on their layout or not.

Everyone in the shop has a hand (or paw) in layout maintenance!

Jim...those rocks look familar....wonder who built that layout....
I thought I recognized Jim's paw prints (handiwork) on that layout.
That's cool!!! Thank you all for the replies and shares!
I will second Mercer Junction in Mercer, Pennsylvania. It is the nicest I have seen. It is great to test run a locomotive on nice track and attractive scenery!
