I stopped by John's York Train Shop today and his knowledge of model trains is unbelievable. He was able to tell me what parts I would need to repair the locomotive and other parts I would need to get the train up and running for the first time in 50 years. Model trains really are his passion.The quote for the labor cost for repairs on the locomotive was so low I was stunned. John is an excellent resource and very knowledgeable. His shop may be a disaster but it's worth going to John for all your model train needs.

Great store. The owner was able to get me the locomotives I was looking for at the price I needed. Will be back again!

John knows trains and has a ton of great stuff to choose from including other vintage toys. It is a bit cluttered but I have seen far worse . Highly recommended if you're looking for something special.

The place is a mess. Like walking through a horders house. One tiny strip in the chaos to walk through. Things piled 4ft high. However, if you touch anything the owner will tell where to put it back in the disorganized piles of stuff. Owner was extremely rude to my son.

I am almost speechless.I need a tetanus booster.Nothing is organized. It’s dirty, dusty, and would make a great episode of hoarders. I fear for his safety and the potential dead animals under the PILES of junk just barely holding on. You have been warned.

4½☆ if it would let me put it.If you are like me, and have an interest in both the newer and older types, brands, scales, and styles of model trains, then this is the place for you! He carries quite a bit of older, harder to find stock, and compared to many higher end places, his prices are right around current market value or lower, which is a definite plus. Yes, the place is a bit cluttered, but if you are patient and careful, with the help of his on-computer inventory, you can find quite a few hidden treasures at this shop. I've known of the gentleman who runs the place since I was quite young and new to model railroading, over 20 years ago, and if there's anything I've gained with age, it's that you learn to understand people better when you have known them a while; he is a good man, and will treat you fairly, and if you can do the same in return, the benefits are heaped on tenfold. It is my intention, with this review, to spead the word of this wonderful hidden gem of a shop, that he may be allowed the business he deserves and is able to grow thereby. Just as he can help you in looking for your model railroading needs, you can help him by your patience and patronage.

If like me and are looking for older stuff and looking for harder stuff to find this is a good place to look. The owner was very helpful and was willing to contact me if he comes across some things I was looking for.

This place is so cluttered that my elderly train loving father almost fell trying to look for things. I will be calling the town of highland to ask how this store is able to keep running with the fire codes lake county has.

I went by to check it out. Google said it was open til 4 but it was not open and there was just a guy sitting there. He didn’t bother to open the door. The place did look very cluttered. Perhaps they are closed because of the pandemic. Who knows.
