Had a chance to pop in to Mercer Junction today and got to meet Dave and the crew. Just a bunch of really nice people and makes me wish I was a lot closer than 1.5 hours. Still, I've driven further than that for things that interest me Got a chance to run the new Lionel 'Mike' and chat with Dave about some things. Wish I had real money to spend today, but my last engine came out of no where so I need to lay low for a couple days around the house until the dust settles a little....
Seriously, if you are in the area, or even if you have to make a detour, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's a very cool shop in a nice little town, and where else are you going to get a chance to talk trains with a rock star??? (Neil Young not withstanding... I don't know where he lives...)
Thanks Dave!
