Pat has a small shop, but he has more packed in there than many of the big boys.
Sounds like a great place and Pat sounds like a really nice guy. I may have to add a train shop tour to the 'far East' to my bucket list. Lots of neat train shops out your way.
"Far East" LOL. I know it is to you, but we are west of the Appalachians. Philly is East! LOL
You are right. While raising the kids, now taking care of the elderly parents. I haven't had the chance to get to a lot of good shops myself. And York is only 4 1/2 hours East, but I have never been there either. I need to retire! LOL
I guess you would be the 'Near East' then. 
I would want to go on to visit the ones in the 'Far East' too. Like Nassau, Trainworld, Charles Ro etc. There are so many train shops out there and all the big ones. Just need to make sure my wife doesn't pack her rolling pin or skillet, maybe then I'd survive the trip??
Yes, by all means retire as soon as you can!! It is absolutely wonderful. Been trying all my life to figure out how to stay home and still get paid. This is it, and even better, they now use direct deposit! Don't even have to go to the mailbox or the bank.
