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

Wilcox Hardware in Midland, Texas.  They had two layouts in display windows and outside push buttons so you could run the trains as long as you held in the buttons.  Inside the store they had two massive layouts, very detailed and scenic, with all Lionel accessories available in the early '60s.  The walls were lined with shelves filled with all the Lionel engines and rolling stock you could think of or wish for as a young fella.  Sadly, the store burned down in '66 and I remember pictures in the newspaper of melted Lionel items all running/drooped down the walls.
