Little Rock MRR Shops
Posted by Attuvian on Monday, June 15, 2020 11:24 PM

I'll be travelling (by air) from the NW to Arkansas at the end of the month.  As circumstances permit I try to do a little research on LHSs and other model railroad outlets where I'll pass through.  Except for the (likely) standard fare in Little Rock's Hobby Lobby, I'm wondering what I'll find a few miles NE of the city at Rail & Sprue in Jacksonville.  Any forum participants out there that have been in it?  And, are there any out-of-the-way or off-the-grid MR enterprises in the area that are not to be found on-line?

Thanks!

John

My son lives in Little Rock; I haven't found anything that I would deem a train shop there.

Remember the tin can; the MKT's central Texas branch...

In my travels through Arkansas I have never found anything hobby related that would justify a visit.

Do you have any spare time? There are a couple things in Alabama that are worth a trip, but it would be an all-day excursion.

The Rail & Sprue shop in Jacksonville, Ar. just north of Little Rock is work a visit.  They have a good selection of trains new & used.  He has several estates he is currently selling.

Thanks, Gene.  I'll give it a go in two weeks on the way to the airport for my return flight.  Wonder if I will have to repack my bag when I come out of the store . . . Whistling
