These days, there aren't many model railroad shops around, but North East Trains is still here and…read morestill selling trains! The store's got a lot of O scale (Lionel) trains and it's clearly the primary focus of the store, but there's also a couple aisles of HO scale and a couple displays of N scale. Look hard and maybe you can find some S or G scale. The back room also has a selection of scenery materials and model kits. With the overwhelming amount of merchandise, items are overflowing into the aisles. It can be hard to find things if you're looking for anything specific. If you're looking for the latest HO releases from Rapido, Atlas, or Athearn, this isn't the place. ...but if you want to get some inexpensive freight cars and track for your favorite kid (or yourself), you're bound to find something here. The staff has obviously been in the hobby for quite some time and should be able to answer your questions.

What a great store! I was in town visiting a train layout nearby and stopped in here. They have a…read moregood selection of new stock (mostly O gauge, but some N, HO and G scale too) and a tremendous variety of used trains in all the popular gauges. In the back they have scratchbuilding supplies, books, and paint. I found some stuff here (O gauge vinyl roadbed) that hasn't been made in years. In talking with the staff, they purchase collections of stuff so they don't always know what they will have. It is like walking into a used train show, and the prices are very fair. The staff are also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I only wish I lived closer than 3 hours away!

They have all different types of arts and craft products, sewing items, yarn, paints, craft kits, candle items, colored pens/pencils and anything that you might need for your crafting needs. There was even a good selection of seasonal decorative items, right now being Fall themed. We grabbed some of the Fall decorations to put outside in our front yard plus I saw a word puzzle book that looked pretty good so I got that as well. The prices and selection here were not bad at all. There were plenty of clerks scattered about the store looking to help customers find what they were looking for. I found it to be a very fun store to shop.

The store was a disaster though, I understand that the space is small, but not only is it a bit of a mess, but it's also rather cluttered.

The building has a large sign which has been attached to the front for years that says "America's…read moreLargest Train Store" and their web site makes the same claim. However, when you walk inside you will quickly realize that the retail store only occupies roughly a quarter of the building. This certainly was not the largest train store in the United States when Caboose Hobbies in Colorado still had its own retail location. Even after Caboose Hobbies closed, the title of "largest train store" still seems somewhat dubious. Despite the claim, it is still a fairly large store with a wide selection of trains and gauges. It's one of the most organized stores I've seen with their merchandise neatly displayed on shelves. This is a big difference from other model train shops where the stock is often randomly put on shelves. As you enter, you'll find one of the largest G Scale selections I've ever seen. There's also plenty of O Scale with HO and N stock towards the back. Prices are on the high side and if you're new to the hobby then you're bound to experience some sticker shock. Some other stores have a fairly decent selection of used items which can be great for kids, but there wasn't much used stock on my visit, so as much as the kids might like the train layout they've got, it's not a great place to bring little kids shopping because they're likely to be disappointed they can't afford anything with their allowance money. There is a train display upstairs, but for "America's Largest Train Store", the display seemed rather small. It's in the center of a small room upstairs and there's a narrow hallway around the display so you can see it from all sides. However, it's entirely behind glass which means it's impossible to take any photos or videos without a reflection. Most other stores with a display will have plexiglass around the bottom but you can still stick a camera over the top for photos. I'm assuming they've got this entirely enclosed because it's off in its own area with no staff to watch out for sticky fingers. As of this review, their hours are just Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm which makes it VERY difficult to visit the retail store for anyone that works regular working hours. It would be nice if they were open a weekend day or had at least one day when they were open later. As a result, I've only been able to visit in person once when I happened to have a day off. I'd prefer to visit in person than order online to save on shipping costs and time and to ensure I get the item I actually want. If I'm going to bother ordering online, I can order from literally anyone just as easily. It's a shame their hours aren't convenient for regular folks with 9 to 5 jobs.

This was a really cool store! It was clean, the displays were great and there was a HUGE variety of different games, materials for painting game pieces and nice areas for playing games. As well as snacks available if you are there playing. There were a few people engaged in a game. Lots of cool games depending on your hobby or interest. We didn't end up purchasing anything on this visit. But is was a great store. Not to mention that I like seeing people in community. Play a game- put down your phone and make some friends. Love this mom.

(The prices were a little high to begin with so the sale made them more regular). The display comic books had cool identifiers like the first appearance of Hawkeye, for example. They were valued higher because of these specifics. Even those were 20% off today. My husband's only critique was that some of the long boxes were packed too tight such that he would've had to pull out multiple comic books just to be able to search through the box. He says he would've bought more if there were about 15 fewer issues per long box. Come check it out!

I said Yes and he then gave me their quick spiel. From other reviews it looks like 20% off isn't new and has been a thing for a very long time. I didn't find, in general, their prices to be too bad. A few books maybe but they're smack in the middle of the city in a high tent area and their selection of pretty much everything is great, do slightly higher prices are understandable. Highly suggest a visit for current books, back issues, slabs, and I think lots of gaming stuff as well (I didn't pay attention to their non-comic stuff). It was actually fun for me.
