For us growing up in Central Jersey in the early 60s it was Arcadia Gardens in Woodbridge. They were a seasonal store that became all Christmas after Halloween. I remember it as mostly Lionel but I believe there was some Flyer too.
Montgomery Wards also had some layouts. Those were some great days.
One thought: almost everyone here that enjoys trains now was exposed to them as a child when we were younger. What are today's kids exposed to? And what are they going to seek out when they get older? They are constantly bombarded with ads and displays for iPhones, video games, etc. Maybe a little more exposure to trains would help?
