Milepost 38 is moving

I heard that a few weeks ago and talked to "Robert" who used to work there, and now works for BNSF as a conductor in Montana. Sucks for me in Moreno Valley, because now I have to go all the way to Burbank. Not that MP38 had much O scale any more, but they had "supplies" which I always need.

Another one bites the dust!

Very sad indeed. I have been shopping at Milepost over ten years. Jerry and the gang were first class. I would stop in every couple of weeks on my long commute home. Now my train store "fix" is about a hundred miles away in Burbank (Train Shack).

I'm starting to think it's me. I have in laws that live in Orange. Back in the '90s I found Yourba Toy trains and i got to where I could drive myself there. then they closed. last July when we were out there, I found Milepost 38 just down the hill from the in laws. Just a one and done, It was a nice store.

I bought my first Lionel Hudson (6-18056), from Jerry at Milepost 38 several years ago. It was a great experience and Jerry made sure the loco ran perfecty before I left the store.
I am saddened by this transition but I wish him well in all future endeavors. As Joni Mitchell says, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone...

As much as I like Arnies, it is sad to see MP38 go. I'm am glad that the operation is merged into a larger store rather than going into oblivion. Like Doug, I'm out here in the Inland Empire and good model railroad suppliers are few. I usually go out to Train Shack in Burbank when I'm at work during the week.
