Big Boys Toys/Palmdale Hobbies was once like that too, but it didn't really
pay compared to the rest of the trains or other hobbies in the store.
According to John Verser of PRS, I was the largest S dealer west of Chicago,
and from personal observation of Caboose Hobbies in Denver and Whislestop in
Pasedena, I believe he was correct. Made no difference. I had more
international customers come in than the ones from the bay area or Los
Angeles. A big part of the deal was that I had to charge sales taxes to CA
residents...
Having fun?

I will have to admit that I was blown away at the first sight of Howard's
tables at a local California convention. I never knew so much S was actually
in stock out here on the west coast.
