Hobby Shops I Have Visited

The hobby shops listed below are in order of how much they (and my money)
have contributed to the development of my railroad.

The first one, Oak Mountain Hobbies, is by far the largest contributor. It's been
in business about four years and the owner, Rick Locarno,  is very knowledgeable
about model railroading and DCC applications and has been very helpful in getting me
about anything I need. Members of "The Wrecking Crew" model railroad club hang
out there and are always full of good advice. Take a look at the club's site above.

The second shop, Colonial Photo and Hobby, is very large and is where I bought
my first DCC system and first Proto locomotive while on vacation.

I would recommend stopping by any of these if you ever get the chance.
