Could anybody adwise me a store. I looked already at google and for Washington i didn't find a store, where they have it. I found reynaulds.com. They have a great selection of Lehmann. But they sit in Ilinois. Any advise for a store ? Thanks Bodo

However, there are many dealers listed for neighbouring Maryland and Virginia. I think Helmut's is probably likely to the one with the best selection. Specifically for LGB, this dealer may be a good place to start: G-Scale Train Station 2975 Old Washington Rd Waldorf MD 20601-3120 P: (866)374-9340 You can also go to Walthers.com http://www.walthers.com/exec/shops and click on the dealer lists for Virginia, Maryland and maybe also Delaware. You would then have to call or browse websites to see which lines they carried. Regards Mike C

I would call first. I would think he would be closed today due to the holiday. Good luck

FYI if you are kicking around and looking for something to do, In Kensington, which is a much closer than Lorton (which I still recommend for Maerklin) there is a store called Kensington Trains and Guns. He only has a couple of Maerklin items but loads of large scale Lionel and other stock (if you are into large scale). . Also Perry's toy exchange in Wheaton, just up the street is stuffed with old toys and they do have a mostly American selection of trains (not huge), I think mostly HO stock. The stores are only five minutes apart. Best of luck.
