One of the items that I was looking for at York was the MTH Union Pacific heavy duty flatcars with rocket stages. It was a no find at York so I stopped at Pats Trains on the way home since he had a set listed on his store's web site. I have ordered a few items on-line from Pat ever since Jason's Train Shop went MIA but had never met Pat. Pat and his lovely wife are the type of folks you want to meet running a train shop. Very friendly and they really make you feel welcomed to browse around in their train shop.
About the train shop. WOW, the store is stocked to the rafters with O Gauge product. A shopper could spend hours just browsing in the store. Pat took me to the 2 back rooms that were also packed to the rafters, plus Pat has a warehouse that is also filled. Pat tells me that he knows where everything is at, I am guessing Pat has a photographic memory.
Visiting Pat's Trains was a real treat, will be stopping every time I pass through Wheeling.
