While I wont remember that shop as I didn't grow up in Detroit. I think all of us have fond memories of childhood hobby shops. I grew up in the late 70s and early 80's for my initial Lionel years of childhood. For me, it was Harmon's trains on US31 near Arcadia, IN. And Casey Jones trains on Shadeland Ave in Indianapolis. I found many more once I got my first car and could travel and hunt down shops still carrying Lionel trains. I went on to become Harmon's repair tech once I could drive. There are times I wish for a time machine to go visit those great shops in late 1940s and thru the 50's. So many came and went before my time. Mike the Aspie
