This is the reincarnation of JP Trains and Hobbies formerly located in Latham, NY. I came here on…read morevacation and was pleasantly surprised with the shop. The good: compared to the old store, it is well lit, the aisles are wider, and it is easier to find things. The hours are probably more regular as well. The bad: the inventory is the same as the previous store, but with even less O, S, and G scales. So, if you are an N or HO modeler you will find this store is nearly the same as the previous one. However, if you model in some of the less-popular scales you won't find much here aside from some scratchbuilding supplies. The prices seemed reasonable. Still... the area neads hobby shops, and I will do what I can to support this one. Check it out!

Everything is displayed not only so that you can fully see the item and price, but also aesthetically pleasing. They have a very extensive set of items here and some really interesting ones, too. You can tell that these folks love what they do and that they are serious about their craft. We visited this store on a road trip. It's a little out of the way if you're traveling either the Northway or Thruway, but absolutely a place we'll return any time we're in the area. It is absolutely worth your drive. Great place! Well done, folks!!!

On December 20 ,2024 they Shipped by Fed Ex ground and they only came on December 29 where Fed Ex was not able to deliver after 4 attempts. I finally contacted Michlle on January, 6 and told her that I would not be picking them up I was tired in chasing the Items which did not come on Christmas nor on New Year the Items went back to Mint Models and finally after almost 2 month the Issue a refund of $748 this CROCKS want to keep $43 shipping charge and Michale told me I was lucky they did not charge me restocking fee for the cars which never came to me that rich coming from company who did not ship them on time and Items which never arrived to my location. As mention by everyone don't buy from them go to Ebay and by the models there this crocked company sells on Ebay but the difference is Ebay protect you write away . We all buy first then go look for feedbacks I wish I looked for feedbacks before. Yelp claimed this business is closed not true change of address they are open and treating customers very badly. They should of gave my money back when this Item was on the way back no I had to wait one more week to get even $748 they used my money for 2 month made Interest on it and know ant to steel my $43.

This is the most unprofessional disreputable business I have ever dealt with.

On January 31st of this year I ordered a model of the same car from Mint Models and to this day it never arrived. When I called to inquire a very rude rep named Michelle was totally unhelpful. I'm in New Jersey and this bogus company is across the river in New York, and I actually waited longer for these scammers to (NOT) send a MODEL than I had to wait to have THE ACTUAL CAR be built and delivered all the way from KENTUCKY! Mutha-F Michelle & Mutha-F Mint Models!

I'm not going to get into the religious views of this company...let just talk fabric cutting…read morecounter. Not a great selection of fabric to begin with, but whatever, I've found some cool stuff. Rarely is there a staff member in the department...I usually have to ring the bell. Okay, great, they finally show up. Now for those of us here in 2019, we are used to decent technology, including scanners that can read bar codes. Not only does HL not have scanners, they HAND WRITE every single fabric price and amount on a slip. Then calculate each price. So let's go through the process shall we? Employee slowwwwwwly unrolls fabric from bolt, then places it against the ruler repeatedly to make sure not to give even an eighth of an inch more than we asked for! Slowwwwwwly cuts said fabric. Slowwwwwly folds fabric and places into a pile. Slowwwwwwly hand writes amount on slip. Slowwwwwwly folds up bolt and sets aside. Repeat. And don't get me started on when there's a mistake and they have to rewrite the entire slip. I don't know if the employees are not properly trained or just seriously lack customer service skills. They should just stand there and watch while I cut my own fabric; I'd sure as heck get out of there faster! Bottom line - if you have a lot of time to kill, or just really want to torture yourself, grab a few bolts of fabric and have them cut various sizes. You can thank me later.
