Dick and all,
The Hobby Shop in St. Albans, VT, was also a store front business. In the
mid 1970s I stopped there while returning home to Philadelphia from being on
vacation in Canada. Al Hall was very friendly. He had a fair amount of
nice S scale items. In the early 1980s I visited Al Hall at his new home in
San Jose, CA. I remember the only thing he still had from the store in
St. Albans was a bunch of S scale Champ decals.

1. The Hobby Shop, St. Albans, VT, as I recollect, was a mail order
business, not a storefront. When The Hobby Shop closed, S Gauge Herald
publisher Wally Collins got the rest of the PermaBilt kit inventory as
payment for previously-unpaid ads in the Herald. These are the same kits
that Bill Fraley furnished to attendees at his recent hands-on "how to build
a PermaBilt boxcar kit" clinics at NASG Conventions.
