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. that carried Lionel and I hot my ZW and gantry crane from there.

Art,

Thank you very much for the answer. I remember my father taking me to a Lionel train store in the Woodhaven area and simply would like to find and visit the location. It has remained in my memory for a long time.

Melgar,

The location remains but the Manor store has ben gone for many years.
