The New Hobbytown of Boston
Posted by Run Eight on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 10:10 AM

I'm on this firms e-mail mailing list and nothing new has been posted in many months.

Is this firm still on track and in operation.

Any input from readers?

I received an email update back around late May or early June saying that everything was on track.

Hobbytown is alive and well. I recently purchased two kits, which were delivered promptly. There are many kits and parts available in addition to those listed on the web site and in emails. Send an email to the owner at the address shown on the web site (nick@hobbytownofboston.com) and ask for a list of kits and parts. Nick will reply within a day or so (he has a full-time job in addition to running Hobbytown). Disclaimer - I have no monetary interest in Hobbytown other than hoping that the enterprise succeeds.

Yup, Hobbytown's doing just fine!  I ordered a PA-1 chassis and two multi-drives this week, and I'll be using them to upgrade my old Athearn A-B-A set.  The updates and newsletters don't come often, but he's trying to keep everyone up to date when there's anything important to announce.

Shouldn't the new version be called Hobbytown of New Jersey?
