I will be in Columbus Ohio over the weekend and wondered if there are any good train/hobby shops I could visit. Thanks

I have been called worse...

I do my modeling alone. My son is older now and not as interested in trains and cars as he once was. Also did the club thing, to much hassle not able to go as much as I would like, so for now I work alone.

I usually buy O Guage Railroad. I get Model Railroader, Railroad Model Craftsman and Trains at my local library. I look over some other rail magazines at Borders and if interested I will purchase.

Morning everyone from NE Ohio. Another bueatiful day on tap, sunny in the mid 70's. Spanky, that passenger coach has been in Sharon PA at the Quaker Steak and Lube for a long time, I noticed it was for sale back this spring. Do you know what the plans are for it? Everyone have a great day...

Morning all from NE Ohio! was 46 degrees at 5:30 AM. Another day of rain 3 or 4th in a row. Mums are out in bloom and the trees are starting to turn. Fall is here... Everyone take care and enjoy the beautful fall weather. Might do some railfanning over the weekend..

Morning all from NE Ohio. Another rainy cool day. Fall is rapidly approaching. Some of the trees in the woods behind the house are starting to show colors.. Also saw quite a few Canadian grain hoppers on NS last night going through Berea OH. Looks like grain shipping season is in full swing...

Morning from NE Ohio. Still gloomy and cool. Weekend should be nice 70-80 degrees and sunny. Good weekend to do a little railfanning in Berea. Hope everyone has a good day...

Good Afternoon everyone, Raining here in NE Ohio for the last two days. Weekend is supposed to be nice. Tonight will be a good night to work on the layout or other models..

I have rode the following: Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (Tourist and volunteer) Hocking Valley Railway (Tourist) Cass Scenic Railway (Tourist) East Broad Top (Tourist) Tweetsie Railroad (Tourist) Oil Creek and Titusville (Tourist)

I absolutely hate buying on line or ebay. I prefer to buy at my LHS or trainshows or swapmeets. I like to see what I am buying and know I am getting what I am paying for. Plus the friendly people at the store and conversations with other customers and rail nuts make it worth while. In major...

Other than model railroading, I like to railfan, build model cars/airplanes, collect 1:18 diecast cars primarly from the 1930's to 1960's. Thats all time and finances will allow.

Sorry for the late reply, I was out of town. I live appx. 10 minutes from Parma High. My son just graduated from Valley Forge High, which is almost in my back yard. The Chevy plant is still here, although they have been cut back like the rest of GM. As far as the layout, I just have a fun...

Wings is mostly HO but has a little O guage. Also alot of rc model airplanes. As far as the HO it is a mix of new locos and older locos, new Kato and Walthers. Alot of RTR cars and railroad kits (which I enjoy)

Anyone know what happend to Spankybird? I haven't seen any posts from him lately, and I really enjoy the pictures from his layout. Hope all is ok with him...

The bridge is to connect the Brown's stadium and Lakeside Ave. eliminating people from crossing the tracks to get from the stadium to the downtown area. I usually go to Wings Hobby in Lakewood Oh, or my favorite is Trading Post Trains in Cleveland (actually Old Brooklyn area appx 2 miles from...

Besides Berea, I like to go to downtown Cleveland by the Amtrak station, there is a pedestrian bridge over the NS lines which allows good photo ops. The two main lines are the LakeFront Line going to Buffalo, and the other is the line going through Alliance Ohio. Definately check out Berea...

The yard you see from 480 is called Rockport, and the yard in Avon Lake (Ford Plant) is called Fairlane.If you have time while here, check out Berea tower which is about 2-3 miles south of Rockport (not far from the airport) off of Rt. 237. NS and CSX both come by the tower on opposite sides...

I am from Parma Ohio, appx. 15 miles SW of Cleveland. Currently working on 60's to 70's era Lionel layout and my Son and I are working on a small HO layout. That in addition to building model cars and airplanes and collecting diecast cars.

Gil, where is the neon lighting available? The bar would be just the thing for my layout and to display my cars. Thanks...
