By far the best in Chicago:

Zientek's, 2001 W. 18th Street (corner of Damen & 18th). It's a hobby shop and tavern, owned by John Zientek, an avid model railroader.

Hope you don't mind the off topic post. I am going
into Chicago this coming Saturday. I will be driving
on I-55 to Lake Shore Drive, and then on to the
University of Chicago. Can anyone suggest any hobby
shops along that path or in that area? I am looking
for shops that have a good offering of parts for
scratch building and kit bashing freight cars.

I realize that Chicago Land Hobby and Des Plaines
hobby are great for parts. But they would be way out
of the way.
