Fred is extremely knowledgeable about trains. Very nice! The store is setup well and if you have trains to sell, he has various tracks setup so he can test them. Go visit!

Best model and toy train shop I have ever visited. There's a complete AT&SF semaphore signal in the front window. Peco switches, brass HO rolling stock and locomotives, tin plate for collectors, z-scale to garden railroads.
