Hello! Has anyone on the forum visited 18th Street Station Train Shop in Fayetteville, Arkansas? They have a Facebook page, but I can't find any other information. Can anyone comment on their selection, specifically HO scale? (I might go just to meet the shop's cat, Pebbles.) Thanks! - Bruce
Bruce, the shop has been in business for 25 years or so. There was another shop, Tractive Effort, in Fayetteville for a few years but it closed two years ago. TE's owner is a member of our group here and still does some dealing. 18th Street may have what you are looking for, although a lot of thier stock may be in the trailer ready to go to a show. If you just happen to be in the area you might stop and see if they are open. If you are looking for something in particular, I'd call 479-521-2091. Some of us in the area mostly wait until we get to KC or Tulsa or Dallas (or just call Discount Trains there.) Of course if you are in the area this weekend for the giganormous motorcycle rally you might amble over since it's right near the Baum complex.
Thanks, Steve. I appreciate all the information. I'll be down that way next week for the ... uh ... MPHS Convention. - Bruce
