Listen "Episode 231: Retail Wars"
Episode Synopsis
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's in stock and part with our hard-earned dollars. We take a peek behind the curtain to find out what's it actually like to own a store dedicated to this great hobby, what to offer, dealing with wholesalers, consumers who just can't seem to be satisfied no matter the problem and everything in between. Stephen Atwell owns Midwest Model Railroad in Independence, Missouri a successful retail shop that's becoming a destination, with a large selection of products and a great team ready to help. 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. It's a great podcast with lots of great info from these leaders in the hobby. Enjoy!!
