I can't resist Youngstown stuff

it seemed like a no-brainer at $46

Don't ever tell your LHS owner what you like! Big mistake! It will be looking you right in the eye the next time you visit. You have already experienced what happens next.

Very cool story at your local Hobby Shop.

    Thanks for sharing this story, well done.

Roger, would that hobby shop be located in Trumbull County?

Roger,

Does the shop have a web site, or take photo orders?

My great grandfather was in the engendering department at YS&T in the 1930's before going to Youngstown Steel Door, would be nice to have this little piece of YS&T on the layout. I remember the shock my parents and grandparents had in Sept of 1977 when YS&T began the de-industrialization of the valley, first of the dominos to fall, even has a young kid this was big news.

Best,

Jason

I received my YS&T ore car (a little piece of home) this morning.  Must thank Roger for starting this thread and posting pictures otherwise I would have had no knowledge that this existed.  It is a special car by Lionel for the Catholic War Vets charity.  This will make a great companion to my YS&T slag car set that Lionel offered about a decade ago.  This will become part of my "steel train" pulled by "The Little Giant" (P&LE) A-2a Berk (by MTH).

Also thanks to Harm at Andrews Shopping Center (the toy train shop in Warren,OH) for quickly processing and shipping this order.  Great to work with and accommodating to my shipping needs.

Glad I could help add to your collection...one addict helping another
