Jamestown NY Terrys train shop

     Well, I was up there Saturday 3/1 and surprised to see that the store was closed and he was literally loading inventory into his truck and emptying out the store.   That was the last place in the area that was really well stocked for scratchbuilding supplies in all scales. 

There's no comment on his facebook page on what's going on, or much chatter.

Post if you know something beyond that.

Why didn't you stop and ask him about what's going on?

Locked up, waved me off, wouldn't come to front, or let me in.

That store popped up on a Google search a few Saturdays ago when we were passing by Jamestown on I-86, so we went over there.  The closed sign was up and it was pitch dark inside.   Fortunately, it had been a minor detour and not a "destination" that day.

Oh well, sounds like he's done.

One of my LHS, if you are on their mailing list actually sends out updates by text as to any closings.  Last weekend, they closed for a family emergency and it saved me a trip.  Good Customer Relationship Management on their part, i.e, not just sending texts saying "you haven't spent anything with us in a while......"

Allow that he could have been in a horrible mood about it all, especially if he was left with no choice other than shutting down the business by liquidating inventory to a single buyer for pennies on the dollar. That could easily be the case especially in the shadow of an overarching life-changing event like a divorce, serious illness... stuff like that.
