Back in the 1950's and 1960's when I lived in Bensonhurst you couldn't go a mile without finding a store that carried model Trains. Later when I moved to NJ, I remember Two Guys department stores that always had an excellent after Christmas sales but then after getting married in 1975 the train shows started and I began purchasing there
I think you meant E.J. Korvettes, which was also off the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn. That’s where I got some of my HO trains in the early 1970s. And where I saw N scale trains for the first time.
