    Always well stocked with everything, trains, scenery, parts. Bob is an expert on repairs and…read moreoffers decoder installation, professional painting, and repairs at a reasonable cost and relatively short waiting times. He has done many such projects for me as I have been upgrading my brass locomotive collection. I have the greatest confidence in him and highly recommend him!

    The shop is a bit difficult to find as it sits back away from Hwy 85 (Note to self: Not Interstate…read more85.) in the Riverdale Shopping Center. The first time going there you'll need to use a GPS system. I even needed it the second time. I'm betting I'll need it the third time as well. Any takers? If you suffer from MTS (Model Train Syndrome) then you have just met your best treatment centre. The shop is run by a man who calls himself Bob. We call him the train god. The only competition to him were the people at Trainmaster in Buford, which sadly has been crushed under the tender care of capitalism and the covid virus. May it rest in peace. Well, back to Bob. I think that might be an AKA, but don't ask him about that. He has the finest collection of HO Scale equipment and supplies I've seen in quite some time. Pretty much if you are going to find hard to find stuff Riverdale Station is the place for you. Due to his knowledge, he barely spoke to me but when he did I heard the voice of Moses. I'm part Jewish, get over it. I am renovating/repairing an Atheran 1940s all pot metal MOW crane, which I consider to be a gem. It actually does not have the manufacturer's name anywhere on it, but one look of it without the 'cab' of the crane and he knew all about it. The bogies, English for "trucks" in Yankish, were hanging from a hook that he retrieved within a minute. No waving of wands for this man, he needs no magic. So after borrowing a screw driver from him I took off the old bogies and put in their place two three axle (6 wheeled, two on each axle as that is the way we train people roll... Stop groaning. You were eager to hear that and don't blame me if it is lame. I'm nearing my poetry state of mind.) Then I borrowed his Kadee coupler gauge and lo and behold the couplers were matched with the Kadee gauge. Well, I missed one thing in this description, I also needed a new coupler for one end of the crane car. He asked me whiskered or the older brass sprung type. This is a test I thought. What should I pick? It could be the unmasking of my Guruship, much was on the line. I swiftly and boldly answered whiskered. There was a slight hint of a smile on his face, and he agreed that was the better choice. My status was secure. I think Bob has a wall in the back of his store where the honored are allowed, but as yet I've not met his requirements, where the honored are allowed to put up a picture of themselves with their favorite bit of equipment held in front of them. This at this point is only a rumour as I just made it up. So in summary, two visits and not one thing negative to say. There is a delightful cat who is the true owner of the store, as he has his own chair facing the front entrance. I think the cat gets to decide who is allowed in or not; not quite sure about that, but he was entranced by the smells of my cats and was very attentive to my every move I made. He is friendly, but I'd suggest not bringing in any dogs. We don't wish to offend, do we? Cheers.
