I really like this place, it is my favorite train store in IL. They have a lot of variety of stock here. The people are always helpful and friendly. Most of the time they are willing to give me advice and pointers on their products. Most of the best brands and high quality items. Prices are decent for a LHS and I love the sale page on the website. Every month they have a deal on something I want. I spend too much money here, but I can't help it.

Questions & Answers

Do you purchase used model train collections? If not, do you know of anyone who does?

Hey Jim. No, we do not purchase used train collections. Strictly new merchandise from our distributors. Not really sure who buys old collections anymore. You could try other shops, see if they might know. Good luck.

Do you guys sell Lionel or MTH O-Scale trains?

Hi Nate. No, we don't deal in O scale anymore. You could try America's Best in Itasca. From what I've been told, they have some of the larger scale trains.

Do they always open late? Driving 20 miles here and finding a closed shop ain't too good

I thought the hours were posted in the window, but as far as I know they always open late.

Do you have Athearn roundhouse EMD model 40 in ho scale

Hey Daniel. We don't currently have an EMD Model 40 in stock. All of the locomotives we do have are on our website. I expect that Athearn will do another run of them in the future, but only time will tell. Take care.

Employees wear masks and we sanitize surfaces. For those not wanting to come in to the store, we offer arrangements for curbside pickup as well as shipments by mail.
