Anyone know of a good train hobby shop in Springfield Illinois?

It is a nice place to visit But I never found a hobby shop there.

Check out http://hobbyretailer.com - no hobby shops show up for Springfield. Try browsing through all of IL. Nothing in the back of my May CTT either.

Castle Trains and Treasures is a fantastic hobby shop on Springfield’s west side. I live very close to there and Bruce Maurer , the owner, is a good friend and a true genteman. You won’t be dissapointed if you visit there.
