With a job that ricosheted me around the Midwest and west (sadly, l have made it to few of the NE shops, then or now,) l managed to visit, once, several of those listed above, such as Seymour, Indiana, but many more that no longer exist. It is very difficult to get even supplies but has been for a while, and even an internet supplier of modeling materials l bought from has vanished. I have laughed at how others described the similar greeting attitude they received, "Don't bother me, l am busy ignoring potential customers." But l also have heard from a long time area train show dealer who tried to open a shop, and have it staffed while he worked a paying job. COVID staffing problems are not new. Guess now?
