TeamDewey, nice to see you on the site!

Tell us about yourself, (and your biz) and what era and gauge you model, if you would! Some of us may have a hard time popping into Idaho, so let us know what we missed! I've got outlaws in Preston, how far away from there are you?

Thanks for the welcome guys. I own a hobby store here in Nampa Id. We cover model railroading, rc cars & planes, models, diecast & more. I recently acquired a large inventory of model railroad items including a ton of NOS model railroad items. We specialize in Athearn replacement parts. Mostly HO.
The store is ran by myself, 2 sons and wife. We have a blast and enjoy doing shows.
My personal collection is mostly vintage HO Rivarossi Steam, Challenger, Big Boy. I love passenger cars. I also have 2 Rivarossi Kraus Maffei's KM4400's a SP & DRGW. My wife has a Z scale layout, my older son (18) has a comb HO & N in the store, & my younger son (14) has several N's.
If anyones local or traveling feel free to stop in and say high.
Thanks
