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.”
