Are there any hobby shops anyone knows about that might have old stock of Backmann Plus kits. I am specificaly looking for 35114,35113.and 35112
Your best bet is to check small shops around the country. On our last trip to KC, I found a bunch of old MDC kits in Hays, Kansas. The shop is "Around the World" owned by Tom Mai. No toll free number but write to sales@hayshobby.com. Tom is very prompt in answering mail requests. He also has fair discounts on Roundhouse products. If you write him, say "Bob from Colorado says hello".
"Engine House Hobbies " in Wichita,Kansas may have some older kits. They don't have a web site, but their number is 1-800-586-4443. If you talk to "Richard Stephey" tell him Bob from Colorado referred you.
Visit various small city Chamber of Commerce sites, search for hobby shops. I find a lot of "goodies" this way. Kansas City has several shops.
Caboose Hobbies in Denver, Colorado has a large inventory of hard to find items.

They seem to be having server problems recently, but their number is 1-800-866-1813 or write to information@caboosehobbies.com I don't have a contact there.
Good luck,
Bob
