      It did have that smell, David. Took me right back to buying kits in a 5 and dime when I was a kid.

    I have been going to Majors for over 60 years. I remember Mr. & Mrs. Major and Mr. Majors very unique sounding voice. The building was built in early 1900s. There is a model railroad club in part of the basement. Way back when there was a huge slot car track setup up stairs and also an Aurora HO scale slot car track as well.

      Thanks for the comment. Interesting to know some more history about the place. I saw the railroad area in the basement. Very glad I stopped in there.

    Did I see some Frame Arms Girl kits? I've never been to a shop that carried those. I get mine from Japan. My main hobby is trains. I have several scales that I collect and I love to go on road trips to watch 'em.

    Really cool looking hobby shop. Lots of old kits. I used to have one of those planes you were talking about that it was controlled on a wire that you had a handle in your hand and could make it do stunts by the movement of your wrist. Would get dizzy from going around and round tho. Lol Enjoyed the video as always. Have a great week ahead buddy and see you in the hangouts. Senior

    I’m going to have to get over there sometime. My wife is from down state IL. Maybe make a detour next time we go down. Thanks for sharing.

      No problem and thanks for watching. I'll be stopping whenever I go through, just to drop some coin.

      I love train displays too. Our Union Station in Kansas City has a permanent installation. I also have a Gundam Specific shop here that carries Frame Arms Girl and Japanese pop culture stuff.
