I used to be into slot cars and HO trains when I was a kid. There was one hobby shop here that seemed more like a club house for the guy who ran it then an actual store but it was always fun to browse. Even our Toys R Us had a good hobby section and that's where most of my train stuff came from. A few years ago I got back into a bit with slot car stuff, mainly because I was looking for a couple more cars and some controllers to make an old set I had usable again. Most of the hobby shops around here deal more with RC cars and the army type stuff. One place has a decent selection of car models. And one toy store has a huge selection of slot cars. This came from there as well as the two newer Chargers behind it.
