Hobby shops in Denver

    Hey, if you're in a rental, distance is no problem, and you're up for a bit of a road trip, try running up to Greeley to Don's Hobbies & Tropical Fish.  They used to be a huge 3 story outfit with RC on 2nd floor, models on ground floor, trains in the basement, and slot cars on the 3rd story.  They've moved into a new building and had to downsize quite a bit, so they are about a 1/3 of what they used to be, unfortunately, but I would say they're still comparable to Colpar and for the most part are well stocked and have a good variety of stuff.  They also got into fish.  They are located out on 10th St.

also check out caboose hobbies in down town denver on south broadway. one of the larger model railroad stores.

rob wolf ipms meets the first wed of each month at 1900 and rocky mountain shipwrights (primarily wooden ship models) meets third saturday morning of each month. drop me a line for details.

I did a Google of Aurora and it looks like it is easy to get to from Denver.  I'll place it on my list of things to do (at the top).  Thanks everyone.

Go and check out Colpar and ask for Mike or Fred make em work for a change.
