Is GRYZBOSKIS considered a good store to mail order from? They have great prices. Any tales of whoa from anyone regarding GRYZBOSKIS?

Hello Jim ! I've been in Gryzboskis while in Scranton and they are good folks to deal with.They have a large Inventory as well,Much more than what is in their Ads. I do not believe you will be disappointed doing business with them.

I wish I lived near Steamtown, I was out there on vaction last week.
Heard it was a place to go see if your into steam. Glad I went.
The only thing I was bothered with, durring the shop tour, I didnt see any
young blood learing the trade. What are we going to do when the guys that
know the how to keep the steam on the rails die off? Kind of makes me want
to move out there and learn.

I did goto GRYZBOSKIS when I was there, in one of my other posts, there is
a Lacawana(sp?) coal car that I bought there.

Walt Rapp-

Just like the age-old question, which was asked in The Miracle on 34th Street-   "Does Santa sleep with his beard out or under the covers, when he sleeps? (Answer: Out.)

My question is-   "What does Walt do when there's a derailment inside / under the layout?

The whole world is dying to know!

Stevend: I'll have to scrounge around and post a picture on this coming's Sunday Photo fun that will show you how 'back there' derailments are handled.

I found one (click on it to enlarge):


As for under the plateau, it's why I avoid at all cost putting a switch under there. Experience is a great teacher!

JAABAT,
GRYZBOWSKIS are real good to deal with. Meet these GIZ down at YORK and they had great deals. Then when I was up in Scranton, stopped at their store and talked a while with JOE sr. while JOE jr was filling all the incoming orders. Neat store and good GIZ to talk trains with.

Hey Walt! Who's that big guy crosscountry skiing on your layout?

I have also dealt with GRYZBOWSKI'S via mail order and at York. They are straight up folks and treat the customer appropriately and with respect.

Regards, Roy
