My son is almost 5 and we love coming to The Train Station to check for anything new on their running model train and set.He loves ALL trains...freight trains (I get him a CSX calendar every year from The Train Station!), LEGO trains, wooden trains...but his favorite by far are his model trains.Most of his HOs (and track/accessories) I have purchased used from The Train Station. Its an inexpensive way for him to collect all different types of cargo and his love for the hobby is growing thanks to you guys!There are 2 employees that arent necessarily inviting when we shop (maybe because my son is so young and they dont feel comfortable with him in the store?) but the rest of the gentlemen there are kind, helpful and patient!

For the model railroader this is an excellent one stop shop for anything you could potentially need with an on site repair shop if you have a loco you dont think you can fix yourself. Want or need something they dont have? For locomotives Im pretty positive they can order in store for you if youre looking for a specific locomotive from a website and need to go through a third party vendor. Either way its a fun shop, the guys running the place are ever helpful, knowledgeable, and just all around good people to just talk and shoot the breeze with

Went in today. I asked a question the man at the counter looked uninterested and clearly knows less about railroading than me and I am just learning. I asked about o gage, he states what we have is over there. What they have could fit in a midsized car without using the trunk. They do have a fair amount of ho scale.Went down street and had a completely different experience.

My wife and I stopped here on a pure whim because we talked about possibly putting a train around the Christmas tree this year, and we ended up buying a model train kit for home and yhe kids love it. The folks there are super friendly and really knowledgeable. There are a lot of really cool displays. Of you are at all into model trains, or simply trains in general, this is definitely a place to go!

If you collect HO or N scale, this is the place for you. A mind-blowing assortment of engines, both steam (all eras) and diesel, a huge collection of rolling stock, from affordable, entry level, to very high end, and a complete run of Woodland Scenics scenery and models. Really an amazing shop.

The staff here is excellent, Ive never walked out without knowing more than I asked. If they dont have the parts your looking for, they can either order it for you, or give the advice you need to get them. Best place for model railroading in central ohio.
