MELGAR: Manor Toys and Hobbies on Jamaica Ave. near Woodhaven Blvd. (probably named after the LIRR Brooklyn Manor depot near by) was a major Lionel and Flyer dealer. There was also a hobby shop further east on Jamaica Ave. named Tex Foster's, who carried a little Flyer and Lionel. And then another toy store further west on Jamaica Ave. from Woodhaven Blvd. that carried Lionel from which I got my ZW and gantry crane. Cannot recall the name.
