I may have mentioned this one before in another thread. Maybe someone remembers it?
In Baltimore, there was a train store at Falls Road and 36th Street. It was a few blocks away from friends whom I would visit every few months. One day in around 1985 I walked in to discover a large number of Kusan, AMT and KMT boxcars, and a 1984 (?) Williams catalog. The owners weren't that interested in making a profit that day, I guess. I seem to recall I paid $10 to $15 each for a quantity of boxcars, probably 20 or so of them.
It was the rebirth of my interest in trains, having put them away for a few decades at that point.
