Where to shop and learn in southeast PA

[bobk815]

Hey folks,
Any tips on clubs or shops near levittown,PA or Trenton, NJ. I am looking to add to my christmas set and turn it in to a hobbie. I don't know enough to be comfortable just randomly buying things on the internet.
I bought the MTH pennsy set for the tree and fell into the more bigger trance. I have a spare roon and if I can find the right resources I think the trains have a home.

Best advice I can give:

MTH Dealer Search (http://www.mth-railking.com/dealers/index.asp)
Lionel Dealer Search (http://www.lionel.com/Dealers/Find_Dealers.cfm)

Start checking for local train shows. Hobby Mags help too. The TCA is active in your state.

Thanks for the responses gents. I have been looking at the dealer lists and there is nothing much there for my locality.
I would be thrilled to locate a local clud or group but don't really know where to search.
I am unfamiliar with the TCA.

Well you do live in a large state. Buy a train mag and read the adverts.

Found one.

Joes Train Station of 21 E Street Rd, Feasterville Trevose, PA

About 12 miles from my house and a wonderful collection of stuff.
Bought a Willaims PRR freight car and a MTH DCS remote.
The DCS TIU died after an hour so... back on Monday.
Wish me luck.
