Very helpful staff, friendly environment. When raccoon feels like visiting, he adds a level of welcoming to the store as he lays in the middle of the floor Watching you with idle curiosity. Good prices, fun place to sit when I've nothing to do.

A throwback to the great old days. Staff is great, they have a ton of stuff in stock from items just released, to kits from 20 and 30 years ago, to vintage Lionel stuff. If you're in the area, definitely stop in. If if you're looking for that hard to find item, give them a call and they'll probably find it for you.

Nick and his brother was great dealing with my 10 year old great grandson. Nick fixed the problem and he was happy to have his train fixed. He loved looking around and trying to figure out what he wants next. Thank you very much

This is model railroading's Mecca! Don't bother with Amazon. Just take the trip. I'm not even a model railroader, but I needed diorama materials for a deep pour project. They had everything I needed, and I'm going back for more.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Large selection of N, HO, and O scale both new and new-old stock as well as train control both DC and DCC. Well stocked on Magazines and even gives away old magazines to anyone who might want them. Nick buys train collections and sells used trains and stands by what he sells. Just be sure to have him or one of his guys inspect the used stuff before you take it home, that way they can clean and relube the engine and let you know about any DIY things you will need to do. Been going here for the past 7 years and am glad they are here.

I can't believe I've lived in the Raleigh area my entire life and have never been to this place. What a gem! Packed to the gills with cool stuff, from trains to planes and everything in between. Of all the hobby shops I've been to in the area, they have the best selection of balsa stock and the best K&S tubing rack I've ever seen. I'm used to needed a tubing size and either having to settle on a different size or leave empty handed, and they had every size I needed, I think that might be the first time I've walked into a hobby shop and left with every item on my list ticked off, and my hobby isn't even model trains. Cannot wait to go back!
