Reply to "WHAT WERE YOUR FAVORITE TRAIN STORES AS A CHILD?"

I remember getting into trouble with my Dad when he found out I used to ride my bicycle to the "Model Railroad Shop" on Vail Ave, originally addressed as "New Market" now Piscataway NJ. I would go in and stand by the beautiful HO layout displayed in the front section of the building and owned then by Fred Diebert. He would see me standing there looking at the layout and always offered to start up the trains so I could watch. That was back in the early fifties.I remember Jim Weaver always told me that model railroad shop was the oldest in the country operating in the same location from the late thirties and still there today.
