I had Marx, before succumbing to HO, so the only all year hobby shop with trains in Louisville, Ky , Lionel, was Fischer's, written up in one of the 3 rail mags. Woolworth's toy dept. had occasional Marx outside the holiday season. Sutcliffe's, a sporting goods store, had all brands, Marx, AF, and L then, but packed all away right after Christmas, when l showed up with gift money to add Marx 3/16 cars, so never got any additional cars. Sears in Louisville had the best, basement, holiday train display, but the two major dept. stores had displays, one Lionel, and the other, AF, and are remembered. (( I still remember wishing the AF U.P. 4-8-4 was three rail, and liked AF (MoPac?) PA's, too))
