I'm not sure they have the ENTIRE Walthers catalog - structures especially are
sparse - but Discount Model Trains is definitely the DFW metroplex's best
stocked hobby shop. It's always worth a visit. I'm also very happy with my
local dealer, Iron Horse hobbies in Lewisville.
You can also catch the Lionel Trains at North Park Mall - Central Expressway at
Northwest Highway - You can get there on DART also.
