I have been to that Colonial Phot place and Stew Marshal's Train Depot. Both are good. I think Stew passed away a couple years ago. He was one of the old-timers. I remember seeing a photo of him in an old issue of MR from the 50's. His shop is still open I think - and it packed a lot of trains into a not-so-big space.
If you ever get to Tampa, go see The Happy Hobo and Chester Holy (Chester is also departed, but his shop is still in business and very large).
Also there is a place called H&R Trains over around Largo or St. Pete that is like a model train super store.
Enjoy!
Mike

I live in Jax but whenever I go to Orlando I make Colonial Photo and Hobby a must-stop. Also I understand from friends that The Train Depot is also good.

Hopefully this won't break an posting rules.
I've checked out the listings that MR has posted on their website for hobby shops but was curious if anybody knew of a good HO hobby shop in the Orlando Florida area.
I recently moved down here and am looking for a good HO place.
Thaks...
