There's John Hall's True Value in downtown Goshen, IN. He doesn't have a huge inventory but sometimes you can find some nice stuff. There's also Rupels Toy Trains in Dunlap, not a good selection, and New York Central Toys & Trains in Mishawaka that has a little bit of everything and some older stuff. It's just a couple minutes down the road from NS' Elkhart Yard. The New York Central Museum in Elkhart is also worth a visit. It's right across from the Amtrak station.

Both Grayland Station and Chicagoland Hobbies in Chicago have a decent amount of pre-owned stuff
