Had very good service!! Took my son there to buy some Bachmann Thomas the train tracks and train. I don't know anything about scale train stuff. So I told him to talk to my son and he answered him and showed us exactly where it was and answered my son in a Great manner. Awesome place!

staff are not very friendly, seemed like asking questions were a trouble to them, stock is over priced for small scale models.

Provided by DexKnowsVery large hobby store with a very big inventory or older items. If you are looking for something specific that you can't find and it is out of production you may be able to find it here. Only problem with this store is how they price. All items are OVER-PRICED. They claim their pricing is based on current retail value so be prepared to pay the prices! They claim they discount but I did not see it! They have a discounts room full of old junk but even those items are priced high..I saw many damaged items marked with like new prices. The stores inventory has a lot of older production train car kits and engines but everything I checked out was marked with current day retail value prices. I found they had kits on thier shelves that were marked and priced as new but if you checked the kits they were previously purchased items that because they had all parts and were in the right boxes they priced it as new and with the high current retail. If you are looking for a store that discounts with fair retail values then do not bother to shop here. I was there three different times during the week I visited the area and found that they do not have a lot of people visiting the store, most likely because of their pricing policy of marking everything at high retail.. Maybe that's why they have such a huge inventory.... I got the impression they are not in the business of moving inventory so do not expect any deals at this store! If you do buy something at this store check it carefully as many items are sold as new but are really re-stocked previously purchased items -- at High Retail Price!

You wouldn't think you'd find such a huge store walking in the door and down the stairs, but wow -- amazing. I almost stumbled on the last few steps (be careful) because it's visual overload. Good selection of model trains and just lots of everything. I would recommend you check them out.
