MB Klein's
MB Klein's is an old hobby shop just outside of downtown Baltimore. It is not a huge place, but the place is floor to ceiling with stuff everywhere and their prices are way competitive. I guess I thought everyone on the right coast new about them. Their web site is very good too.
I must be frank with everyone, my hobby shop ratings are heavily tainted by being completely spoiled by Caboose and Mizell's here in Denver. I have only been to about 15 train shops around the country, but I have to tell you, 3rd place, which by my opine is MB Klein, is not 1/2 the shop of the two we have here in Denver. I am sooo spoiled! I admit it. (Please, no offense intended to anyone.)
Certainly any train person who makes their way to Denver MUST visit these places. Each one takes several hours just to take it all in.
When I think I am spending too much money on the hobby, about 5 minutes in the brass section of Caboose fixes that!
