LHS between Columbus OH and Buffalo

[Upstate Gator]

I've driven to Columbus for a conference. Any recommendations for hobby shops with good N scale selections? Preferably with discounted prices?

Robbies Hobbies on North High St is hit or miss depending upon what they have just purchased, they buy and sell estates and collections.  So it is used, but, can be new never used by the former owner.  You just have to look.  The Train Station on Indianola does not discount much, but, can have a nice selection of items.  Other than those two, LHS is Columbus OH has gone the way of most--GONE.  John's in Mansfield, I have not been to in years, used to travel for the state, I do not know the status of his pricing.  For Cleveland, look for ads in MR of search hobby shops Cleveland.  Erie and Buffalo, I have no ideas, just search for hobby shops.  have fun.

Is the Blue Caboose gone?  (IIRC that was the name)

Blue Caboose, a blast from the past.  Unfortunately, it is long gone.  Great shop with good prices and N friendly staff.  I heard that he lost his lease as the reason for its going away.

  The Blue Caboose is now Robbies Hobbies .     Also there is Hobbyland in Graceland shopping center . Has a little less than Train Station , but the prices are better.  I do know they have a couple of used steamers there that are good runners for under 70 bucks........
