Brakie, sorry I didn't answer you sooner but my opportunities to get on the computer are limited. I just get too busy to get an opportunity to get on line. Now the best hobby shop in the area is WV. Hobby & Crafts in Teay's Valley, WV. As for Hobbyland, after the old man retired, his daughter took over and the store has slowly withered away to almost nothing. In the old days, they used to have tons of stuff. The only problem was that everything was at retail or above. Recently my cousin bought some HO track from them and it was marked with the old Huntington 8th Avenue store address. I think that they are just selling off the old stock and not getting much, if any, new stuff in. I'm kind of surprised that they are still in business. You don't see them at train shows anymore or any Christmas commercials that were common in days past. One great thing about WV Hobby and Crafts is that their stock is sold below retail. The last Atlas engine I bought there retailed for $89 and change. It was marked at $69 and change. That is standard and does not include their close-out items that they get from time to time which are really discounted. The fellow who owns WV. Hobby & Crafts also owns Nitro Hobby & Crafts. It is like a smaller branch of WV. Hobby & Crafts. I've seen a lot about Peach Creek in some of my C&O books. I think the C&O Historical Society could tell you anything you wanted to know about Peach Creek. Are the RSD 7s the Alcos they used to call Dragonladies?
