The model railroad industry lives and dies on the ability to appeal to the buying public, it seems easy to us consumers that merely have to check out what\u2019s in stock and part with our hard-earned dollars. We take a peek behind the curtain to find out what\u2019s it actually like to own a store dedicated to this great hobby, what to offer, dealing with wholesalers, consumers who just can\u2019t seem to be satisfied no matter the problem and everything in between.

Lorne James owns Otter Valley Railroad in Tillsonburg, Ontario another wonderful store with an excellent selection of products and some of there own manufactured cars.
