    Only train store in the area is a small one in Mulvane. Only open on Saturdays. Hobbytown at Kellogg and Rock used to have more than they do, but they got rid of a bunch of stuff when they relocated in the strip mall they're in. IIRC, I think I heard about one in Hutchinson, but never been there.
