Very nice shop, lots of great inventory, very helpful staff. Only wish the website was more clear regarding the fact they are no longer offering repairs of vintage trains.

Excellent in every way. A huge selection of models and supplies, N, HO and O scales, as well as a ton of non-train related models.If there is something you don't see, Phil can likely get it for you.A real one-stop model train shop.

Awesome place! This is a family run business that treats you like you are one of the family. They have a great selection, and if they don't have it, they can order it for you. Besides trains, they have a great selection of model, cars and aircraft. I highly recommend them for all your hobby needs.
