Eastern Michigan Train Stores ???????
Posted by Buckeye Riveter on Monday, October 24, 2005 2:10 PM
I'm heading north with Mrs. Buckeye and wondered what are some of the good train stores to see in the eastern part of Michigan from the Ohio-Michigan State Line north to Saginaw.

Not interested in N or HO, just O and G. [:)]

There are at least four that are well worth going out of your way in the area you designated.
Will Bill's and P&D are within a mile of each other on Groesbeck, just north of I-696 (actually about 3 miles north of 696). There is Brassuer in downtonw Saginaw (make sure you hit the parts area on the second floor and the book area on the other part of the second floor. There is also a place in/near Pickney (just north and west of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Michigan Model Train Center. I'm looking for links.
