George's Trains - Moving from Toronto to Markham

[RobertInOntario]

Ron: where in the northwest did you grow up? We moved to Thistletown when I started high school. I don't remember a hobby shop in Rexdale Plaza but there was a shop in Elmhurst Mall for a while.
Were you there when Wellington's was in the plaza by Scarlett Heights C I? My major shop was North York Hobbies on Avenue Road until they moved to somewhere else.

If you want a major urban area with no significant train shops -- London, England. When I went there in 1976 there were 2 major shops -- significant distributors -- and a few others. Now the only one worth a visit is way out the other side of the east end.

I think there may be a few in London, but not many. I expect it's mainly because London is SO expensive -- high rent and taxes? This is the way Toronto is going!
