How about an update on Pioneer Valley Hobbies?
If memory serves me well, the late Chester "The Most" Holley never put his train store in Tampa, Florida, online either. Despite this handicap, he was well known worldwide and had many return customers, including many flyboys from nearby MacDill AFB. After his passing, daughter Diane, continued to operate the business until she shut it down to devote time to her family. Sadly, Diane passed away not long ago, however, the name Chester Holley is not forgotten by any means. You can still meet Chester and visit his shop in OGR issues # 119, 120, 121, to get an idea just how special it was to spend some time chating with him or just brousing. He stocked a lot of merchandise, trains from Z to G, model vehicles, books, a wide assortment of all the current magazines, plus he ran a dealer ad in OGR as well!
Sadly, there isn't a train shop today anywhere in this part of Florida that comes close to Chester Holley Model Railroad.
Another question: Has there ever been anything on the OGR site about the Pioneer Valley Two Rail O scale layout? It was featured in Model Railroader when it was under construction and was rerun in whole later in a Kalmbach MR layout book.
