Deborah Freeman: Great N scale train store

AB203: Highly recommended! Large stock and friendly staff

Paul Tagliamonte: Shopping there off and on for the last 15 years or so. I wouldn’t consider myself one of the usual‘s. Selection is great. They’re pricy, but I get it, they have to pay the rent. I’ve been on the fence with this place for a while, specifically because of the service. It’s always been the same 3 guys there for as long as I can remember and they are very knowledgeable. It’s a hobby store, I don’t go there for the atmosphere. But when I witnessed an elderly guy coming in for the first time, asking some very simple questions about brass rod, one of the guys behind the counter was very short with him, raising his voice for no reason whatsoever and seemed like he couldn’t be bothered. I could see the old guy was just taken aback. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was having a rough day etc. but its nothing I hadn’t seen before. Over the years, when I’ve gone there to shop, I’ve kind of come to expect it from the guy, whether Its me asking a question or another customer. I’m not there to have my hand held, but the way he was talking to that elderly customer was it for me. I’m just done. Walked out and never going back.

Michael Moceri: Free to browse. So much to see. Very helpful staff.

Sheila Wood: I cannot say enough about this place. This place was fantastic. The guy from Australia was super super nice and very very patient with me going through the N scale cases. I have an eye condition that makes reading small print very very difficult so it take me a LONG time and I probably got more impatient with myself than he was getting with me. (I know, eye condition and N scale do not go well together but I have limited space and catzillas that destroy everything so mine are displayed on a shelf) The amount of N scale was one of the biggest ive seen yet. The HO section was a good size as well and they have a ton of boxed models and paints. Prices on the N's are fantastic, below retail AND everything with a white sticker was 30% off. So happy for that because I bought a lot. This place is definitely on my list of revisiting again. We came from out of state for vacation and found this little gem of a hobby shop. We only had a conversation with the Australian guy, sorry we never asked his name, but he knew his way around trains and had a great conversation with me and my boyfriend while they both helped out the "beginner". Its not often I feel welcomed into the man hobby of trains, mostly because I act like a 5 year old when ever I see a kitty ( I display Chessie, CSX, some graffiti, and some other odd ball cars that I find, but I hunt for the kitties. Im the poster child for the stereotypical "why girls shouldn't play with trains" lol) Overall I would give this place a big 10+. Even if they wouldn't have had N, it is still a place I would have gone in just to look around. We will definitely be back!

Russell Ives: This place was awesome.I came because I just got a resin 3d printer and decided I wanted to start printing and painting minis. I have absolutely no experience with painting minis so I wanted to come by to get some advice and start building out what I was going to purchase. Evan was INCREDIBLY helpful. He was super nice, and so very patient with all of my questions (of which I had a ton). He gave me great insight into the process of painting, what was worth spending money on, and what misconceptions I had about it.All in all, I had a great experience and I will 100% be buying all of my stuff from here. No question. It also helps they've got an enormous selection of stuff for pretty much every need hobby under the sun.Thanks for being so helpful and I can't wait to come back!
