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

In the 50's, I went to Trost Hobbies at 63rd and Kedzie on the southwest side of Chicago. Most of my original trains were bought there, and I remember perusing Model Railroader and being disappointed that the pictures only showed trains on two rail track. The store closed in 2006 after a 78 year run, and the space is now occupied by a Mexican Bakery.
