You might fire off a letter to the editor of one of the model railroad magazines. They might know of someone who does it. Just an idea.....

My wife has always supported my hobbies, whether it's trains, photography, or my guitar playing. So I can't complain...

All this talk about hobby dealers got me thinkin'.... Do we have a thread in any of these forums that ranks the internet hobby dealers. I mean that way when any one of us, or someone new comes in and is looking for a online dealer there will be a way to keep track of everyone's experiences and...

I've spent way more on other hobbies than I have on trains! During the summer I play paintball, I'm also heavily into photography which is by far waaaay more money! Have you seen the cost of a Canon f2.8 75-300mm Zoom Lens? I also play guitar, one of those will set you back quite a bit, even for...
