There is an old joke about the farmer who won a million on the lottery. The newspaper asked him what he planned to do with it. "Well. I reckon I'll just keep farming until it's gone."
I fear the same may be true with hobby shops.
In the local 3-cities (regional municipalities?) area, there have been a small number of hobby shops with a substantial train area and they're all gone. (I can think of about 5 in the last 50 years.)
City of Toronto used to have 3 or 4 substantial train shops -- this was 60s and 70s. The only one left of them is George's and they moved out to the suburbs on the far side from us.
