The Hobby Gallery, Wolcott CT,  - - - Where Imaginations Can Run Wild I recently had a toy repair to do on one of our grandson's favorite trucks, a broken wheel. I tried to fix it, but it was evident that a new wheel would be needed. I thought it was going to need to be thrown out, when he wasn't around, and then the light went on.
