They have a little bit in a lot of scales, so if you're looking for garden rail or HO or O, you may want to venture in if you're rolling up highway 101 and have a little time.
Don't expect a TRAIN SHOP amount of product, however. This is a shop with more than just trains on the mind. It features a huge dollhouse and Christmas building selection, so the trains are just part of the scene.
They also had a rash of thefts and adopted a card entry membership to avoid being a target. So, be prepared to be stopped at the door when you enter and asked for your membership card. If you don't have one, the process is painless - a mere showing of a drivers licensee so they can make a card for you.
All in all, it's worth checking out.
Wow, those big train scare me!! May I know the price for them?
ReplyDeleteLove the larger scales, but the money and space needed for them make them out of my range. :)
DeleteI'm not 100% sure about the price. I know that the range can go well past $1,000USD. One on the site is $1,500USD. Big bucks.
I know someone that runs O scale and he can drop $900 to $1200 per train. Crazy.
Woo, so expensive! But the Japanese HO Scale train is even more expensive than that!
DeleteMy wife would love that shop.
