Fifer Hobby Supply - Semi-retirement
« on: March 31, 2026, 07:35:54 PM »
Mike and Robin are semi-retiring... He says he'll keep entertaining new pre-orders, so I'm not sure what that means. Maybe it means he won't keep an inventory

Anyway: https://www.fiferhobby.com/

Robin and I would like to thank all of you for supporting us for 22 years.
We will continue taking Pre-Orders but no inventory.
This is what we will be doing.

Enjoy the journey. Retirement is fun.

This is what we will be doing.

Will the RV have any sort of a model railroad layout?
