Visited Draude's Derailment for the first time today. This train store is exactly what every train store should be like! There were trains running all over the place!!! My wife and I LOVED IT!!!!
There were three HO gauge trains running and one was a unit train with a long line of coal cars. I happen to love unit trains, so it was so cool to watch. The layout and scenery were incredible and done on a professional level.
There were also two O gauge trains pulling an assortment of freight cars, with a third O gauge locomotive attached to a beautiful set of Reading passenger cars waiting to be fired up for action. I also really love passenger cars, so I enjoyed looking at them.
I could have watched the trains run for hours. We are all in this hobby to enjoy running trains and the owner gets it. Such a cool place. Every employee was so relaxed, friendly, and knowledgeable. I honestly did not want to leave, but when I finally did I was so proud to be a part of this hobby. While these guys are in business to sell train equipment, it was so obvious just how much they truly enjoy running trains themselves. Magical. read more
