Good store, but big prices! They changed $300 for a Bachmann locomotive that is $150. But they allowed us to go behind the counter of trains to grab what we wanted!

Only getting two stars because the stock was decent for N scale, however I was in there trying to make a decision and not sure what I wanted, whilst browsing the older lady went over to the gentleman and said “I’m not sure what this guy is up to, he’s been all over the place and he keeps glancing over at me every time I look at him.” The gentleman asked “well has he been here before?” And she said “I’m not sure he’s just acting very odd.” Pretty disappointing. I was looking to get ideas of what train cars to buy and the prices were rather steep especially for N scale. Probably won’t go back…

This is a great hobby shop for people who are into model building or want to get into any aspect of it. They have a very comprehensive inventory of supplies.

Best stocked hobby shop in the Chicago area, and one of the few that will order something you need that they don't have. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Usually adequate parking in a lot shared with a Jewel grocery store and a driver's license office.

This is a wonderful hobby store with a large focus on model railroads. The people running it are very friendly and extremely helpful. The selections of paints and extra bits for locomotives really blew me away. You could easily spend hours looking through the rolling stock section. I will be back again very soon.

Great model train store, especially for HO and S scales. The detail parts selection for HO is especially nice, as are the kits (picrel).

My husband has been shopping here for years. We were just discussing how their hours have changed over the years - check their website and/or call for current hours. Best part of the store is variety of models - trains, planes, cars, and ships. I picked up a Hudson Hornet that I have had my eye on for a couple of years.

Went in for a power rail clip for my lionel track and they had what I was looking for. They also answered my questions regarding my vintage lionel.

This is the absolute best place for everything model train related. From the top of the line S scale to the beginner HO kits, these clerks know exactly what you need for whatever you want to do. Can't do better than this shop anywhere.

I am a member of an organization that grades small establishments in the rail model hobby. We visited this hobby shop today to see how fairly they treat senior customers with high grade models to be sold. We were given 5 dollars for a brand new santa fe HO locomotive and mantua street car. We were also told over the phone in advance that we should not expect a fair price in return and that they weren't trying to be Debbie downers. This review is just a statement of fact. We are not judging just stating to this review system exactly what we were told and paid for our goods. Thank-you.
