Well if we could set the wayback machine to 1972 or so, Logansport Indiana, Bickels Bike and Hobby Shop, you need to walk past a wooden railing in the back, go hard left, and there it is in tubes. Next to balsa and small brass tubing. Check out the Cox engines in the display case, maybe buy the pulse jet thingy. The price for fuel for glow plug engines would make you smile now.
If you are into slot cars or HO stuff, go down stairs, pass the lines of Schwin bicycles, ignore that Collegate model, the one with the Sturmy Archer 3 speed hub will handle the paper route that is funding the visit and go to the back for the track for the big boys. Oh baby!.
