That's a bummer. We would make a stop there if our travels intersected with their hours. I wonder if it's another case of "no one to take it over."

I do not think there is a buyer for the business. JP had passed away a while back. The only store left in the Capital District is Mile Post Hobbies which is in Perth just outside of Amsterdam NY.

Wow that’s a shock to hear about JP trains.
I wonder what’s going to happen to all the stock in the store.
