I just picked up another set of wheels (my fifth) from Al before the word gets out the bidders go nuts. Its too bad someone else couldn't keep the store running. I hope Al has a happy retirement with lots of time to play with trains!

The only good news I saw was that He'll keep selling his own products online, but the store will only be open for about a month, till they sell off everything including the shelves!
Go On-Line to his store !
Sounds like the cost of a "brick & morter" store in the age of the internet was too much.
He has a long list of SALE items and repeats that he will still make the Ball Bearing Wheels among othe items.
