My father took me to this place in the early 1960's. They have everything I've ever want in HO trains. I used to work in Somerset and would take my lunch break at the hobby shop. My friend Stan and I would leave with bags full of treasures. I'd make the trip from Phillipsburg every once in a while when I needed something NOW. They have the greatest selection of parts for any brand of train. They have paint and decals. They have kits and R-T-R. They have brass! Anything you need, they got it. If they don't have it in stock, they can get it. I moved away from NJ 8 years ago and I can tell you there is nothing like the Model Railroad Shop in Florida. On our trips back north, one of my have-to-go-to places is the Model Railroad Shop. This place is highly recommended.

If it is something repairable in the shop, they will. In certain cases they may have to ship it out to manufacturer.
