I told him I have no use for an analog Amtrak Engine! I also told him would NOT run on my Lionelchief digital-Bluetooth train lay out! He said he never heard of the Lionelchief system. I googled it for him. Damm if you are going to sell trains, please have some idea of what you are selling & stop trying to force customer's to buy something they cannot use. In the end I was NOT allowed to buy the 4 MHT Amtrak Coach cars that were priced at $75 EACH. NO SALE. I walked out. It;s a shame that with so few Hobby shop left that this happens.

I had often visited this establishment nearly thirty years ago when I was big into model trains,…read morebefore moving away. I recently moved back into the area, and was looking for paint for a couple of model projects. Judging by their website, I was under the impression that they were mainly trains, but they had the paint I was looking for, so I stopped in and was pleasantly surprised to see that they carried a wide selection of of other items including plastic model kits. The staff was very courteous and helpful, especially the older gentleman who brought me a shopping basket when he saw the growing number of paint bottles I was holding. As it turned out, they were having a store wide sale which meant I was able to get what I needed for a savings on what I had expected to pay when I walked in the door. I will definitely be returning.

Checked out this cool store in Oak Lawn for a few games. Dragon's Den is where to find classics as…read morewell as recent releases. It has more than most normal people could ever care about or look through. A great place for gifts or finishing off a collection. The prices are hit and miss to be honest. Basic looking store crammed full of games and other toys you have to comb through to find anything. It's got an entire wall of Fun Pops. There's something from almost every cartoon you can think of along with movie characters and whoever. Come trade Pokémon or whatever knockoff cards. They also have a section of vinyl if you're looking for hip music. Find lots of great stuff to buy, or sell to get cash. It's hard to choose only a few things to get. The staff is a bunch of nerds so they know lots of things about quality and value.

Ron's Mundelein Hobbies is a gem. The main focus is on model railroading. Train sets, locomotives,…read moreindividual cars, buildings and materials for landscaping layouts are offered. A large selection of model cars, airplanes and ships is also on hand. Large stocks of Tamiya and Vallejo paints, cyanoacrylate and plastic glues are maintained. K&S Metal and Evergreen Plastics products are there for the scratch builder. And model rockets are also offered. That is a lot of good stuff, but what makes Ron's a gem is the service and the people working there. Stop in sometime, you will see what I mean.

This place is awesome!…read more What a great place for Lionel products; it's kind of like Lionel heaven. Very clean store, and the owners know exactly what they have in stock. They also know what they are talking about. I had questions about transformers, layouts, and engines, and they explained things perfectly. Prices are reasonable, too. There's no insane markup like in some other hobby stores. Just a great place. It specializes in Lionel O-Gauge, though it has HO and some other stuff. It's easy to get to--it's right on Lincoln Highway, not far from the expressway--and there is parking in the back. They don't have stores like this any longer, so please check it out.

He replied "behind you ". Ok so far,...right? I said I haven't built a model in 30 years, he replied " I don't want to hear it. They cost more than a dollar." I thought well maybe it's his sense of humor, but when I said I wanted to get back in to it he again replied " I don't want to hear it.". The shop had everything thing I needed with exception of the owner. In case you're wondering...he never even cracked a smile, or put down his newspaper. He did make a comment about people buying on the internet.....gee I wonder why.
