LHS visit

[Brakie]

Les, I am glad that is not me. If I had one that close, I would be going there all the time to hang out. And of course then I would see something I just gotta have. Loren

I have known him for years, casually. But since he started the shop I have gotten to know him a lot better. I have helped him with some things and he has helped me with stuff on my layout. I sometimes just stop in to talk.

Les,I use to faithfully visit a shop like that years ago where the faithful would gather every Saturday morning have coffee and talk shop,share pictures etc..The newest items would be on the counter for our viewing.Needless to say old Walt got 90% of my hobby dollars back then..Walt even put some wooden kitchen chairs around a coal stove rescued from a PRR switch tenders shanty...Of course the stove was in workable condition but,pure cosmetic since his store had central air/heat..

I suspect those type of hobby shops is a relic of the past in today's business world.
