Try your hand at remote control boat racing, drone navigation and model building, or enjoy a classic Marvel comic book series. PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES In 1969, Linda Ciesla’s father first opened HOBBY HUT (445 Route 23 South, Pompton Plains, 973-835-2077, www.lindashobbyhut.com) and for more than 30 years she has been the owner offering hobby advice on that same street. Customers remain loyal to Ciesla’s store because of her service and knowledge and the store’s wide variety of brand-name remote control model planes, quadcopters, electric boats (speedboats, sailboats and racers) and cars. It is also the place to go for Lionel and N gauge model trains, and the most popular HO scale. The store carries accessories such as tracks, landscaping products and buildings to create great train layouts. 22 WAYNE MAGAZINE BACK TO SCHOOL 2015
