Photos from Mercer Junction Train Shoppe Open House

Very nice shots, Bill!  Wish I could have attended, but my sister and brother-in-law were in town for a brief visit.  Since I haven't seen them in over a year, I really needed and wanted to spend time with them, and we had a jam-packed agenda of things to do.

 

We did pay a visit to Krause True-Value in North Lima, where I scored an MTH "Military Surplus Store" building for my Army-theme layout (Christmas gift from my sister) and I bought my bro-in-law a Great Lakes Brewing reefer (USA Trains) for his Large Scale beer reefer collection.  This store has apparently just started carrying the MTH line of structures, and they had a good number to choose from.  The military surplus store was a no-brainer for me.

Wow, what a great looking store, and that layout is tremendous. Thanks for posting the pics. Bill!

Hope you don't mind, I shared on Facebook for my old college friends!  Great store, great pictures!

Wow beautiful photo's and a gorgeous hobby shop. Dave your hobby shop is one of the most beautiful stores I've ever seen.

 

 

Thanks, Alex

Real nice picture, Bill, thanks for posting.  I always see good things posted about Mercer Junction and it certainly looks like a fun store to walk around and browse in.  One of these days, Dave, when we're out in SW PA visiting my wife's family I hope to schedule a side trip up to see your store.

Bill thanks for posting. Great shots!!

Dave you have a real nice train shop. Previously being the owner of a local train shop I know how expensive  displays and such can be. You did a real nice job with that store, the layout, displays, and lighting are terrific. I wish I lived closer. I'd be a very good customer.

Ok, in what fantasy world is Mercer Junction Train Shop! That can’t be a real train Store; there’s too much open floor space.  Maybe it’s just me but I’m not sure I’d know how to shop for trains without tripping over something.

 

Seriously thanks for sharing the pictures it’s nice to see such a nice shop. I wonder though; is it just my experience or is it more common to find Train Shops crowded and cluttered with merchandise?

What a beautiful store, a such a great layout.

Thanks for all your nice comments. I just got a new camera, Nikon D5100, a month or so ago and this was only the second time I used it.

Bill,

 

Thanks for posting the photos!

 

Thanks to all for the kind comments.  I hope most of you will be able to stop in the shop at some point!
