Great laid back shop. Good selection and they facilitate other services like repairs. I enjoy that they also take the time to help you with your train so you buy the right parts the first time.

Really cute little niche store. Wide variety of trains, terrain, tools, and projects. Dirty secret: some really nice pre made buildings and other small model minutiae that are utterly PERFECT for 12mm-32mm wargaming like Malifaux, or ww1 or 2 war games.

Visited The Hobby Smith about 3 weeks ago with my son who I'd just driven cross country with, to move him to Portland. Fantastic model train hobby shop! Lots of tools, supplies, etc... Something that's greatly missed in a lot of model train hobby shops you go to today. My son will greatly enjoy having this shop close by!

Great store. Ron is a very helpful fellow train enthusiast. If I lived in the area, I would spend more money there. Sadly, I can only visit the store when I visit my niece.

Questions & Answers

Do you carry aluminum display shelving for HO trains and if so , what is the cost. I am writing from NY, interested in buying a gift card for my son who lives in Portland

We do not carry aluminum display shelving. I believe that has to be ordered direct from the companies. We do have gift certificates that can be used for other modeling needs. Thank you, Ron The Hobby Smith

Is the layout display upstairs or inside

It is in the basement. Not open right now as the group has not been meeting. Ron

Is there a lot of diversity in the products

We are a model train store. We have a good selection of HO, N, Z and Lionel items. We also have scenery, tools and paints that are used by many other modelers.
