Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (The Great Train Store Company, Common Stock, $0.01 
Par Value)

June 18, 1997.
    The Great Train Store Company (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified security (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the Pacific Exchange (``PCX'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company has registered its Security for inclusion on the Nasdaq 
National Market effective on April 17, 1997. The Security began trading 
at the opening of business on April 29, 1997.
    In making the decision to withdraw its Security from listing on the 
Exchange, the Company considered (i) the direct and indirect costs and 
expenses associated with maintaining a listing on the Exchange 
concurrently with the Company's inclusion in the Nasdaq National 
Market; and (ii) the possibility that the dual listing would fragment 
the market for the Company's securities.
    According to the Company, it has complied with rules of the PCX by 
filing with such Exchange a copy of the resolution adopted by the 
Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its security 
from listing on the PCX and by setting forth in detail to such Exchange 
the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts in support 
thereof.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 10, 1997, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
