I have attempted to visit some Cleveland area shops...not lately, and some were then gone. In early 1960's l drove around northern Kentucky raiding small town drug stores, Western Autos, hardware stores, etc. for 1/25th auto kits, then popular. Wish l had hunted trains. Much later, l discovered the Bay and sold the car model collection to a Pa. college prof. The train thought was verified when l found a few plastic NOS Marx sets in a Western Auto that was closing, that too, too many years ago, but long after the auto kit safari. Missed opportunities..
