Model Depot- Royal Oak, Mi.

Train Center Hobbies-Birmingham, Mi.

Mark's Trains and Hobbies-Marion, Il.

20th Century Limited Hobbies-Wheaton, Il.

Empire Hobbies-Troy, Mi.

Wild Bill's Roseville, Mi.  (I think I got the town right on that one).

Lionel Visitors Center-Chesterfield, Mi.  There was a nice train shop there.

Ryder's Hobbies-Madison Heights, Mi.

Al's Hobby Shop-Elmhurst, IL.  This one still might be open but I haven't lived in the Chicago area for over 30 years.

I had great experiences at all of these hobby shops.  Sad to see they're all gone.

Wild Bills was in Clinton Township, MI and Bill was a great friend of mine.  I had known bill since the early 70's when our wives both had twin children and joined a club here in Michigan and back in the early 80's prior to the shop Bill showed a  very slight interest in the building of my layout.  So my train buddy Ken and myself started taking Bill to train shows and man did he ever get hooked and the rest is history.  I really miss the guy and the crew at the store on Groesbeck.
