BREAKING NEWS out of Denver

Caboose Hobbies, the world's largest train store, is closing down effective 25 September. Lease expired, and Duane wants to retire.
Now that really is sad, you would have thought that someone with bucks would want to buy him out. Guess Duane has tried that. I well remember my visits in 1994, could not stay away from the place whilst I was in Denver. Very sad news. But all the best to Duane for a happy retirement, guess he will niw be able to find time to build his own Pike. He should have plenty of stock to choose from.
