Dante Medori (Dantelevator) | Sep 19, 2020
Orange Betsy | Sep 19, 2020

Very close. They're on 45 St. North side of the street. You'll hear em first; they got a train whistle and sound of wheels on tracks through a speaker onto the street. You go in, cool display on your left, pass the elevator and go down the stairs on your left.

Is he strictly trains? Does he have plastic model kits also?

Vito DeBellis Jr | Sep 20, 2019
Mark Montani | Sep 20, 2019

Plenty of plastic model kits of different kinds of buildings & train-related structures in different scales HO, N, etc. plus non-train-related items all kinds of sizes of planes, boats, ships, trucks, cars, military vehicles & kinds I can't classify or even recall at the moment. Basement level store shelves packed with these things accdg to particular type. Staff will help you not only locate where things you want are but will check out catalogs for things not readily available. Store might be a bit claustrophobic & resemble a hoarder's treasure house but it's for getting that just-so item you want & not for the photographers of interior decorator magazines.

Hello, do you sell Formula One models?

Patricio Steinhardt | Sep 19, 2021
Federico Aristizabal Padilla | Dec 23, 2021

The truth is, I went today and bought a few planes, in terms of planes it has too much variety and very good, the only bad thing is that it is a bit messy, but it has everything and the other thing is that it raised the price a few dollars in front of us , trains have everything, and formula 1 cars today (December 8, 2021) if it has, it has little variety with formula 1 cars but it has several and accessories for models it has many things, a lot of variety, I warn you it seems used but everything is absolutely new everything is new a bit high prices but it is very good, they have to go down stairs to get to the store itself (it's hot)
