Lovely little train store with a surprisingly diverse variety. Both old and new stock, found some rare items! Fantastic price, just remember to bring cash. Highly recommend taking a visit!

Best HO model railroad place I've found in Chicago. Prices are very reasonable, and a lot better than other Chicagoland hobby stores in my experience. He has a excellent selection from vintage to modern and kits to ready-to-run. If you have an HO layout, you can find something for you here. Owner is more than happy to help you find what you're looking for and answer any questions you have. Cash only, so make sure you hit an ATM beforehand.

Don't get me wrong, This store has a fantastic selection of new old stock trains, and prices are reasonable. That being said, the fact that the store is cash only is a significant drawback, especially given the neighborhood. I hope the owner soon realizes that we're not living in the 1970s anymore, he'd do much more business if he took plastic.

I mostly find old passenger cars that I need to restock something I can't find on ebay! Love this place
