It is with great sadness I must report that I am closing HTW after 21 years of business. I have sold the sub shop and there is no where for the train shop to go. I have tried to get someone to take it over, but no one is interested. I will truly miss all the GREAT people I have met! The memories from the Midlothian train show, to the first shop on 127th; to the awesome anniversary weeks, and even drinks after hours on Saturday nights. I cannot thank everyone enough for all the support and kindness I have received. My son James grew up with the shop, and a lot of you have seen him the whole time, from the young child running Thomas, to the avid photographer and CP modeler he is now. I have an opportunity to do something great for my family, and I must move on. All the merchandise is "On Sale" and must go; all preorders will be protected by Walt's Hobbies in Crest Hill. Our last day of operation is SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11th. Again, thank you to all!
