Vic, I'm guessing he sold the buisness not the physical building. he had his"store" in a building next to his home. He had a rather large garden railroad and 7 1/2" gauge ride on around his property.
I checked it out once, but to far to be practical for regular shopping. /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/sad.gif
Maybe someone in Columbus bought him out :D

Wow, did not notice the garden or LS railways when we were there last winter.
I see nothing has changed since moving from that area over 15 years ago. People in Columbus/Franklin county consider anything outside I-270 to be the sticks and Licking county to be a trek to the middle of nowhere. But for all of us in Licking county, Columbus was our regular 30-45 minute commute.....:D" border=0>:D" border=0>:D" border=0>






Spule, I live west of Franklin county in Madison County. To be honest he's north east of franklin and in the "sticks" I say that because I turned off the paved road to get there, litterally. If he carried Fn3 stuff I might deal with him, I did buy ALOT of detail parts from him for future projects. Very nice man! just doesn't sell what I need. Also I drive enough during the week! And right now I'm spending $150.00 on gas as it is to keep my work van on the road/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/sick.gif.

Spule, I have not seen the OR&W R.R. sign. Would like to though. I only found that sign because I was following the W &W R.R. ROW which paralle's ST. RT. 18 between Waynesburg & Washington, which tuned out to be the R.R.'s demise.
Charles, Enjoy your retirement!
Jim D, Congrats on your new buisness venture!
On that note Jim I would love to see GSJ move closer to I-70! I would also like to see more 1:20.3 offering from Bachmann and AMS. Also Detail parts from Ozark and trackside details. May I also suggest contacting the Columbus Garden Railroad Society in promotion of the handing off of the torch and stuff they would like to be able to be purchased locally.

GOOD LUCK!
