Any good hobby shops in the Boston area?

I checked the Flying Yankee once, they don't have much there, at least for the serious or semi-serious model railroader. Outside of enjoying the ride on the T and trying to figure out how to take the bus there, it wasn't worth the journey. <br /> <br />While in Boston for a few years, I definately did more railfanning than model railroading. Some other easily accessable railfanning places to check out if you have some time (and the weather is nice): <br />-Amtrak's Southampton Street Yards (Andrews Station - Red Line) <br />-CSX Beacon Yard (BU Central - Green Line) <br />-Ruggles Station (Orange Line and Commuter Line) <br /> <br />If you never taken the Acela Express, you could always take "joy ride" from Boston to Providence and back. It's 35 minutes each way and you get to travel at 150 mph. The fastest MBTA commuter train takes 65 minutes to cover the same distance.
