Re: Open House - Past Time Hobbies - Brookfield, Illinois
Have fun I wish I could attend. Tell Mike Adams a big hello!!! That I still have his heavy rescue on hand that he delivered to me at Denver at Mizzel Hobbies.I would like to get back into contact with him. thanks a bunch a thanks for your work. Richard in Denver richarddenv@aol.com also Bill has my contact info.
I can't believe Mizzel Hobbies is still in business. Is it still north of the little park, or have they moved? Those cops around there would write you a parking ticket at the drop of a hat. I would park a half mile away and walk. I was desperate when I lived in Boulder (oil business had tanked), so I sold my extensive Lionel set to old man Mizzel. He had a good selection (not as extensive as Caboose, and I had switched to N guage), but a lot of stuff. I'd have to say the last time I was at their store was in 1985. Glad to hear that they are still in operation.
Richard - Sent you an email. Great to hear from you!
Mizell Trains is still around in Westminster, CO., in NW Denver, right off the boulder-Denver Turnpike (US 36?). I try to visit there whenever I'm in Boulder. I'm not a train person but it's a ton of fun just to look at all the Lionel trains and accessories there.
Small world Im in Sarasota Fl right now closing down a business and hope to be back in Denver soon. I like all the info you also provide in this hobby.
