I don't understand this sort of thing.   Questions like this can be just as easily Googled by the "questioner".......

Perhaps.  But look at the plus side:  How many readers of this Forum that didn't know about this store might now stop in to the benefit of both seller and hopeful buyer ?  Its location makes it pretty easy to hop off and on I99.

But one thing surprised / disappointed me about the store:  Weekdays they are only open till 4, Saturday till 5.  It would be 'nice' if at least one day a week they were open till 6 or 7 for those folks who have to [ shudder ] work for a living.  But perhaps those hours are driven by non-store considerations -- school hours for their children, as an example.

I stopped by on a recent trip to Horseshoe Curve.  The store is not set up or located in a way that's particularly accessible for retail buyers.  My impression is that more stuff "goes out the back door instead of the front"; i.e., mail order sales far exceed retail.  So, there's not a lot of incentive to stay open late.  A lot of places which exclusively sell trains are like that now.

Aloha everyone!  Thank you all for your information.  I was having trouble with The Neely's email because I'd left one letter ("s") out of their email, It bounced back as unknown.  Anyway email straightened out, good to go!  Thank you all for the additional You Tube Links et., links.  

Each & everyone of us should always promote good brick & mortar stores.  Covid as we all know, devastated a number of stores these past couple years.  Fortunately many of us in the train world worked hard to promote our hobby and or vocation.  

I just received my Atlas Premier Pan Am Railways SD40-2 Locomotive.  It is a beauty, everything you could say about this locomotive is really nice.  On our layout it runs perfectly.  So happy that Atlas purchased MTH tooling & so forth.  This is an example of how things really get better.  

If any of you are hesitating to purchase an Atlas Premier locomotive based on MTH's design, don't hesitate, do buy one of their great new locomotives.
