OK home now.
Iron Horse Hobby House. I went on a sunday so parking wasn't bad, I got a hi when I walked through the door, browsed around a decent sized store, average prices, average items, heavily Reading supportive (good thing in the area) must of been in there for about an hour. Definitely got the vibe that you need to go to the workers for assistance instead of them asking you. The time between me putting the stuff on the counter and paying for a small amount of stuff (6 A-Line Wiper Sets, 1 Athearn Axle Set) the attitude got sour
. Guy seemed snooty that I spent less than $30. Really? I drove 60mi for that? Not worth going back.
Dead End was G & K Hobby Center also listed in Reading. bad area of town. No storefront though, no idea if it's even a house business
G & K Hobby Center (610) 374-8598 720 Gordon St, Reading, PA
Another dead end was Otts Hobbies, in another bad part of town. It was listed online so I checked the address, no go.
