Comments
from Glenn: If you have never been to Trains 'N Lanes in Easton Pa, then you
need to go there! It is a large
general hobby shop, lots of r/c cars and planes, lots of trains, model kits,
and 2 large slot tracks. One of them
is the largest i have ever seen, with a huge banked
turn, and their parts counter is very well stocked with many newer parts. Lots of pit room to spread out.
