Hello,
I subscribed to MR when I was a kids, and I am close to 50 now and breaking out the trains with my son. There is advertisement in the back of the MR mag for retailers in the 50 states. I live in Illinois and would like to know who is listed as a retailer in the Chicago suburbs. I live near Wheaton.
It appears that Atlas is having problems producing switches, and they will not be available until maybe August. I purchased the one that was left in one hobby store in Schaumburg, but I don't know of others that may be closer to my house. I know of one in Elgin, but I don't know the name. Will someone please tell me the names listed in the MR magazine so that I can see if I can purchase switches locally? This is holding up my train layout. Thanks
I'm afraid I can't help you, but I would recommend that you post your request in the MODEL RAILROADER forum where it is more likely to be seen by those who can help. Welcome to the forums.
