I think I am going to go to K-10 tomorrow. I have some free time, so I just might make a run up there.I need to find alot of places around. I drive a Truck for a living and I like to visit a lot of places. Just another hobby of mine I guess.
thanks guys. I might not have found this one.
On the southwest side of St. Louis, in Kirkwood, I found a nice little hobby shop. It's Station Hobbies and it's right on Kirkwood Ave. Good prices, nice people. AND they're right around the corner from a Ben amd Jerry's ice cream parlor. 2 vices in one stop!!

K-10 is great! I am very luck in the fact I only live 2 miles from his shop. Prices seem very fair to me and less than other shop I have been to.
Code 100 Altals fex track $2.95
Athearn rolling stock $4.95 to $9.95 that you bulid.
PK 2 wheels 3 sets $6.95
Atals # 6 turn out's code 100 $8.99
Peaco # 8 turn outs code 100 $14.95
Kadee # 5's 10 pair's $11.95
Normaly well stocked but will speical order parts and cars with no deposit needed.
And his track, boy it is something. 60' X 80' and well detailed. Few PIC of the track, worth the drive just to see the bench.
Yep, I am a big fan of K-10 trains, maybe meet you there some time.
There is a shop in St. Charles, MO called Mark Twain Hobbies. It covers a wide variety of hobbies, but its supply of model railroading supplies, and especially scratchbuilding supplies, is pretty good. This is just on the western edge of St. Louis.

Ron,
Do they still run that steam engine from Marion southward on the old Illinois Central tracks? I rode that train back in the late 1980's when I was in Southern Illinois to attend a funeral in Pinckneyville.
You have to visit K-10 Model Trains in Maryville, IL all of 18 miles from Downtown STL and only a short hop north of Fairview Heights.
All the details you need are at http://www.k-10smodeltrains.com/
This is a small shop tacked onto the front of a huge layout. The prices are really very good. Lots of DCC expertise and a remarkable amount crammed into a small shop. Ken at K-10 gets most of my hobby dollars.
It's not a quick trip but we have a real fine LHS down here in southern Illinois.

HO and N scale and he has a lot of inventory in both scales with lots of knowledge and a desire to share it. There is a hugh layout in his basement that he loves to show you also. Just a real fine fella.
About a two hour drive from the STL area.
