This is a fantastic little hobby shop with very friendly staff and reasonable prices. While the store isn't spacious, it has the essentials for a variety of modeling pursuits, including modern military (aircraft, armor, infantry), Gunpla, and model trains with a decent paint, tools, and accessories selection and a smattering of toys. I am very happy to make them my go-to local hobby stop.

Great service, knowledgeable about building model airplane kits, but could use more inventory.

This doesn't pertain to any customer looking for a specific toy but I believe that it should be noted that the cashier Jackson is what a business should look for in an employee. I asked if he minded taking a photo of me and my family to remember our time in Alexandria before our move. He had no problem helping us with our problem. I highly suggest checking out this hidden gem. Thank you again Jackson!!!!-Adams Family & dog's

I swung by here for coffee one early morning road-trip and was pleasantly surprised by the options and friendly service.

Small little hobby shop close to me, staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a decently sized range of scale model kits. I was interested in the tank kits. good selection of 1/35th Tamiya kits. Some Italeri and other brands mixed in. Seems to have a good arrange of Tamiya paints and other supplies. I will definitely be shopping here again.

Always on the look out for hobby stores, we stopped here on a recent trip to Tyson's Corner to check out the Gunpla stock. Its a pretty small shop, easy to miss, in the CVS plaza. Shop mostly stocks legos, board games, a few train parts here and there and an impressive number of Gunplas, even some of the rarer stocks. Prices were comparable with those online and the owner was pretty knowledgeable on his stock. More for the adult collector, I didn't see too many toys for young kids but maybe teens or young adults would be a good starting age for most of what they carry.

Great Toy and Hobby store. Got detailed advice on a Lionel train. They have a great selection of Gundam, Lego, models, trains, rockets and traditional toys.

I needed to paint my Scotty Cameron Futura X5R putter. Saw the review on line and knew where to go. For a couple of bucks I restored the sight line on my list $420 putter. The owner was great and we swapped some stories and the whole experience was phenomenal.

Bought some wwii models,and I am very pleased. The woman who was working at the counter was very nice, and I will definitely come back. They had tamiya models I couldn’t find anywhere else, 5 stars.

A great hobby store for train and rocket fanatics of all ages. Got 4 different rockets for my son and his teenage friends. Parts, motors, all in stock. These teenagers surely enjoyed and are going back there themselves next week. I will also commend the owner for stocking soldier sets from WWII ally countries. Was pleasantly surprised to see the Soviets :)

Definitely a gem of a tiny toy shop. Just picked up snow sleds from here, as promised by the owner who had run out the previous week & said come back next week.

I purchased our family's first train set at Whistle Stop. The store is small but packed with great toys, games, puzzles, train sets & parts, models, etc. The owner and the other employee I interacted with were both helpful and friendly. Shopping here was more enjoyable than at a big box store or an internet retailer, and I look forward to patronizing this Whistle Stop in the future!

What great service! I was recently in search for an additional train for my grandson. The owner was most helpful and the project turned out great. When we encountered a malfunctioning engine, he personally called the supplier to make the exchange as effortless as possible.
