I stopped by today for the first time in a decade and I had a blast with two young folks with autism who delight in all things train-themed, especially Thomas the Tank Engine! There is a very cool interactive model train in the center of the store, and then aisles of items related to trains- including art supplies, craft kids, books... and then also Legos and my favorite brand, Schleich! Fabulous Bruder trucks, too. I didn't interact with the staff, but they were present and busy helping all the customers. I also met several other train enthusiasts who were happy to share their love to Thomas the Tank Engine with my group and that was so special to me! Free street parking. McDonalds is right across the street so we stopped for milkshakes after the train store and it was the perfect afternoon!!

Great place for 0, S and HO Scale train options. They also have nice toy trucks and cars in their small but well curated selection of toys. My good to store to more classic toys. If you are looking for model paint they also have a nice assortment of classic Testors as well air brush paints.

I've lived in Chicago for over 40 years and never knew this place existed. Wish I would've known of it when I was a kid. Seen it on my way to work and took my kids there. I'll be coming back soon and getting some kits.

I was looking to get into model trains and it seemed the timing was right. The technology from Lionel especially makes it easy (these days). Berwyn's Toys & Trains had the best sale price on an fun starter set "The Pennsylvania Keystone". At first I thought it was the latest version from Lionel, but later found out it wasn't, but all in all, it's a great fun set. The people working here were more helpful than any other retail place "by far". They live and breathe there products and were over the top in all categories I could every rate. They have an awesome train setup at their store and plenty of products on display. If they were closer to where I live, I'd go there every week and go broke from buying stuff, but I'd rather buy from them than anyone else in suburbs of Chicago and Dekalb for that matter. You will regret not going to them and sad that you can't come back soon enough. I could go on, but you got to check them out for yourself. Just go there to watch their trains if you want. You'll want to pick up a train set if you are not into this hobby already.

Come here if you want to spend a lot of money on toys. They usually have a big selection of toys. I was in shock to see the same diecast cars that are available at Costco for $17 each. They are selling them here for $49.99. pretty crazy. Even the cars you can find at Walmart or target for $1 you will pay $5+ here. Customer service is non existent as they just stare at you while you browse.
