Esther's Hobby Shop is a fantastic, very clean, and very organized mom and pop hobby shop. It is an excellent old fashioned high quality train shop and a gem for N scale enthusiasts, with a massive selection of N gauge trains and lots of inventory. It also has a great selection of HO scale, supplies, paint, plastic model kits, rockets, and used items. The owner is very nice, very personable, and helpful. The staff is great. It is a very nicely stocked hobby shop where you find stuff you didn't know you were looking for.

Best hobby shop I've ever been to. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. They have a wonderful selection and couldn't have felt more valued. These are the stores we need to be buying from.

Best hobby shop of all time! Very kind staff and always willing to help out. Could not recommend a better hobby shop to visit in Pittsburgh!
