Allied Model Trains (Closed)

[NarrowMinded]

 Its a sad day.

I've been busy with other things so I havent been by the train shop in a couple months, I found out today after 69 years in business Allied Model trains has closed its doors for good.

I bought from them as much as possible because I liked supporting people
In my hobby unfortunatly its had for a Brick & mortar shop to stay in business anymore.

I is sad.  Hobby shops are getting few and far between.  Are town lost ours five to seven years ago.  I think the last one in Tulsa, 50 + miles away, closed.  Now I think the you need to go to Oklahoma City.
