I went to this store when i was on Vacation, and let me tell you these guys are honest and a great business. they take care of their customers and are very helpful on seeing what you need. i was in the HO scale section and i found a nice Ore truck, however when i picked it up the side came off because it was some sort of kit. i guess i was making a weird face when i was looking at the busted part because one of the guys up front came over and asked if i was doing ok. long story short i showed him the busted part, and said i still wanted to buy it, and asked him what type of glue would work. he not only showed me a great brand, but also reduced the price of the busted car, without me even asking (it was already only 5$, and he lowered it to 2$). Overall great experience, and i grabbed a postcard that they keep up front as a souvenir.

I like all the detail parts for building scenery. The N scale parts and everything HO that have action that have sounds and smoke. American Flyer is my favorite in the traditional line etc. Dont care for Polar Express stuff in any gage at all. Too much of it is getting boring. Early HO and N is great. O guage is too big for me to be interested. Nice but far too big and expensive.

Pennsy484 is correct. Sometimes these older Postwar locomotives get a little stuck. The firm hitting usually rattles the e unit into a different position if it doesnt function properly. Also this can be a good test to see if the E Unit requires a full rebuild or just a tune up.
