DaveP posted:Model Railroad Shop in Piscataway, NJ still has that look and feel. They primarily have HO and N scale, not as much O scale as they used to have but good for an odd or end or two.
Sounds like a fun store to visit. Very interesting that the store has moved to HO and N scale.
P&D Hobby Store in our area has carried Lionel trains for decades, and also has a large selection of HO. That's actually the first store where my young son and I heard Lionel's RailSounds for the first time - on New Years Eve. I still have that loco, and, it was a great "family" New Years eve running the layout with my son. He's still my "Train Buddy".
P&D Hobby definitely has that "old time" feel, even though they moved to a larger store in a shopping center many years ago. I'll have to stop by and see if the owner remember's Lopo's, since he would be the right age.
