Model Railroading > I Have To Chose Between 2 Hobby Shops in Ontario, Canada.Date: 09/09/19 14:41 I Have To Chose Between 2 Hobby Shops in Ontario, Canada. Author: RRBMail I have to make a one day foray into Ontario, Canada, from Buffalo, NY, for business this coming Saturday. I can only make time for one model train shop detour. Should I head East to George's Trains in Markham, or West to Otter Valley model train shop? Which do you TOs think is the better stocked shop for old, new and used HO ready-to-run rolling stock, especially Canadian roads? Thanks in advance!

Author: Hookdragkick I've dealt with Otter Valley only once, but they stocked a few HO cars that were sold out and hard to find. Better prices than the crooks on eBay, and that's with international shipping to AZ. You get to go there in person!

We all run into good & bad folks in every aspect of life. Same goes with sellers on eBay. I would say that the vast majority of eBay model train sellers are fair, honest, polite and respectful. If you have had bad experiences with eBay sellers, I’m sorry, but don’t paint us all as “crooks” with your overly broad brush.

I have dealt with both Otter Valley as well as with Credit Valley, given the distance mail order only though. Otter Valley seems to be stocked a little better. Prices might be a little better, too. Other than that they both seem to be ok to deal with. Cheers kbs651 Date: 09/11/19 07:33 Re: I Have To Chose Between 2 Hobby Shops in Ontario, Canada. Author: sarailfan > no one wants to drive thru

Out in Alberta it's not unheard of for Flames or Oilers fans to catch a flight to Phoenix to see their team play Arizona. Often times it's cheaper to do that, even with the flight, than to go to a home game. Of course Phoenix in February tends to be somewhat nicer weather than north of the 49th as well.
