Model RR Stores around JAX

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I recently moved to FL, just NE of Jacksonville. The last layout didn’t make the trip south, so I looked in the JAX yellow pages for hobby stores in the area. Yesterday I tried four (The Train Works in two locations, Hobby Oasis, and Hobby World). Only Hobby World was still in existence and it was 90% RC stuff (planes, cars and boats), with about 20 sq. ft. devoted to model railroading. The other three locations were closed up and empty. No store advertizes in MRR magazine.

Does anyone know of a model railroad store anywhere in the Jacksonville area?

Thanks.

I don’t have any referrals, but here’s the name of a local modeling group which might be of help in finding a good shop:

The Florida Railroad Company Inc., 1360 Wedgewood Road, Jacksonville Florida, 32259 | 904-287-1044

Good hunting!
