Small cramped store dealing in HO and N scales. Very knowledgeable people working there. No air conditioning in the building, which really detracts from it.

Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.

Small store with a lot of N Scale tucked away in boxes. You REALLY have to sift through stuff to see if there is anything you like. Owner is friendly and doesn't pressure you to buy anything. Good prices as well
