Great and unique place for train nerds. It sort of has the feeling of an old curio shop in which the you expect the merchandise to come to life. The second floor looks like it was once a shopkeeper's apartment. The owner has lots and lots of HO freight cars and engines. Walthers seemed to be his preffered brand but he has plenty of other brands too and if you dig through you will find some gems. I found two Rivarossi passenger cars for just 15 dollars each. He gets collections in so it's worth going back regularly. He doesn't seem to carry much in the way of track, scenery and accessories but he does have some. There were some other gauges available too.

Great selection - stuff is all over the place and its a bit cramped but there’s *some* organization (same types of cars are together)Cash only, so make sure you stop by an ATM before heading inNot a lot of space to maneuver around, but there’s a lot of cool stuff there

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.

This place only excepts cash, but the worst part is that they don't have an ATM. Went on the longest walk to get cash. World's smallest cabinet of n scale the online revies say that they had a great selection of n scale. never going here again.

Old school hobby shop. Tons of inventory and the prices are reasonable. Owner is friendly and knowledgeable. CASH only, so be prepared. Most items are HO. Walthers, Athearn, Intermountain, Accurate, Atlas, MDC, etc.
