Hello to everyone. I am new to this forum. I live in Oak Ridge (since 1982 actually) and have recently retired. I've been a railroad buff since I was very little. I haven't had a model train layout since I was a kid and my dad set up a Lionel layout; as much for him as for me. Now, since all the kids are gone and I'm retired I want to get back into building a layout of my own. I'm going to model in HO and have started collecting rolling stock. I've done a lot of online (internet) purchasing but was wondering if there are any good local model train stores in the Oak Ridge/Knoxville area? I've already started running into areas like decal application, DCC installation, and other technical issues where I could benefit from other's expertise. Plus, I'd like to support a local hobby shop.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
