[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SilverSpike</i> <br /><br />[#welcome] to the MR forums! Plenty to see and do in here, and always a seasoned veteran in here willing to help out! <br /> <br />We are living in Wake Forest, NC, and just moved here 2 months ago, so I am not sure where we are in relation to Hickory. Sounds like another road trip is in order to add to the list, that hobby shop might be worth the trip. <br /> <br />Good luck! <br /> <br />Cheers, <br /> <br />Ryan <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I have thought about making a road trip to Wake Forest to visit a store called Train Buddy. They have an impressive website. Sound familiar? <br /> <br />Hickory is a couple hours west of you on I-40. I don't know if it is road trip worthy, unless you want to get a good deal on some furniture! However, I would highly recommend a road trip to Spencer, NC. The NC Transportation Museum is located on the site of the former Southern Railway Spencer Shops. There is a round house, turntable rides, a regular train ride and a several engines including a shay. Across the street from the museum is a very nice and well stocked hobby shop called the Little Choo Choo Shop. The museum has a festival called Rail Days coming up in May and it's worth checking out. Both have websites, I think they are www.nctrans.org and www.littlechoochooshop.com <br /> <br />Have Fun![:)]
