Will Patrick's Trains Be......

Purchased 2 locos from him - Great guy to deal with, good prices, good selection, prompt shipping. 

Great people to deal with. I've had nothing but very positive experiences. I highly recommend them.

I guess you're a little far south to visit in person, but if you did, you'd like it. We stop in every couple of weeks to see what "new" postwar or tinplate has materialized. If you ever do happen to be going through Wheeling on I-70/470, he's not hard to find and you won't be sorry.

There will only be one "Jim's Train Shop"

MartyE,

You're right on the number. There will never be another, Jimmy Sutter..Never!!!

As for the topic of this thread. I reserve my right to express my true feelings another day. Rest assured that it will NOT be during this lifetime. 

While that may be true, it is no more. Father Time has seen to that.

Does that mean that nobody should step up and even TRY to fill the void? Should we just all sit here wailing and moaning about how there are no good train shops anymore?

I just shifted all my preorders from Jasons to Pat. Great service and a pleasure to talk trains with.  I have already received a part of my preorder.

Never had the chance to deal with Jim but Pat has been fantastic to deal with.  Very friendly staff and very responsive as well.

Dear Sir, I've yet to wail and or moan over anything....period!!! I stated a fact in my earlier post and I stand by it. Have a wonderful day.

I hope we can extend personal service and kindness to our customers, when you call our store you will talk to me and not a customer service representative. I would be happy to extend the same  type service that Jimmy Sutter gave you all. 

Thanks for the kind words.

I know an older thread, but Pat is GREAT.  I have only bought a few things from him, but he (a) remembers who I am (b) acts as if I was buying $10,000 worth of stuff each time and (c) is a real train enthusiast that knows his stuff.  Great person, great experiences.  Everything has been on his web site, by phone or at York.  But it has ALL been good.

Thanks Guys

I hope to treat all my customers with respect and give them good service.

Thanks

pat and his wife are super people to deal with  bar none!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! terry

Just placed an order with Pat, it was a very enjoyable transaction.

Back to the original poster's question...

I don't think there will ever be another Jim's Train shop.  It was THE place to get MTH stuff at awesome prices and awesome service.  Thanks again Mr. Sutter!

Jason tried to take it over, but you can see on those other threads he has already thrown in the towel.

I don’t think he threw in the towel, he just hit hard times in his life.  Jason is a great guy and I hope he gets through his difficulties okay.
