I have to agree with you highly on the vast majority of this videos subjects. It's not easy to find any particular locations of shops these days. Train shows have been (in my experience) the best overall ways to get train stuff. especially when it comes to a great deal or more. I've been able to get diesels or steam engines that are maybe 125 retail between 20 and 50 bucks. Freight cars, I've been able to buy a whole flat of box and flat cars mixed for around 15 bucks (a flat consisting of maybe between 20 and 30 individual freight cars, during the last 5 minutes of a train show,lol. As to any shops... I do know of a handful I can recommend ,here in northeast Indiana if anyone passes through.
Hi Ean, great video, regret you didnt ask me, living in Sudbury Ontario, my closest stores would be in Ottawa ( hobbyland - incl. Consignment ) on Montreal road, Larkspur in Merrickville ON or Toronto area, meaning minimal a 3 hr drive each way !. I attend trainshow in Barrie Ontario, every February, as vendor, to sell my " leftovers" from my estate and lot purchases to establish , next to my euro-stuff, Canadian and North American roads. Barrie is 2 hrs away, tables cost money, and because it's a 2 day event, hotelcost too. Therefore i use FB- marketplace the most. Quit paypal because of highway robbery concerning transaction cost and exchange cost with american $ - customers. I am NOT allowed by paypal to mention those cost to buyer ! Causing a loss what's not worth the potential sale anymore.
Hi Armand, My apologies for not reaching out to you ahead of making the video. I greatly appreciate not only your input but also sharing your predicament with buying and selling trains. Understood with regard to your feelings about PayPal. Thank you again for stopping by my channel! 😊

I also have Dundas Valley Hobbies, 15 minutes away, and Paris Junction hobbies, 30 minutes away. Don't mean to boast, just very happy with my choices.

Mastic Long Island? What about Train land on Sunrise hi-way? Not close but used to be a good shop.
Yes, Mastic on Long Island. I did mention Train Land in the video. Used to be a good shop, correct.
