Visiting the race track and museum in a couple of weeks. Any hobby shops in the area you would recommend?
Thanks.

Big 4 in Plainfield A great store
I’m afraid that closed a couple of years back.
There is:
Train Central at 6742 E Washington St and Hobby Town at Castleton Commons 8326 Castleton Corner Dr
Train central on washington st, Zionsville Train Depot on 106th street just west of Michigan road on the north side. and if you want to see an incredible O gauge 3 rail layout, go on Saturday(if you can) to Mr Muffins Trains in Carmel on the north side. They only run the trains on Saturday, but the shop is open at other times so you can atleast view the layout. Its huge! Zionsville train depot has HO thru G scale, small shop that is picking up the pieces from when Watts Train Shop closed. Train Central has more N/HO/O scale packed into a small space than possible, great prices as well! Even some brass trains. He has both new and used from estates. I like just north in Kokomo. Enjoy your trip. There are 2 shops here in Kokomo as well, Tolins and The Train Exchange. Mike

2015 C7 Laguna Blue Coupe from Corvettes of Buffalo with Rochester Corvette Club. I’ll try to stop bye and say hello.
My favorite color for a C7. We will be in the Lemans blue/grey top in club parking. Look for a 6’1" bald, fat guy wearing red suspenders and a cane. Illinois plate KQQL KAR

If you want to make an hour drive, Hawkins Rail in Lafayette has an interesting shop. Lots of inventory; including consignments, detail parts, and general parts. I always find treasures when I visit; which isn’t often enough…
Look forward to meeting you.
