Hi, Mike - living just a little north of Boston, C RO is only 15 minutes away and my "home" LHS !! I've done curbside with them many times this past year, but they are still closed to the public, afaik. I also frequent Northeast Trains in Peabody, as well (that's "Pee'-ba-dee" to all you foreigners).
I have to take some people to a wedding shower in the Manchester, NH area next week and will have a couple hours to kill up there and thought I might spend it in a local train store no more than a few miles/minutes away and both Boston and Albany and Trains on Tracks both seem to fit the bill.
Thanks
