The first thing that hits you when you walk in are the smiles and the hospitality table with CAKE and«snacking yummies». Who does this? Here is a really nice store and consignment place for your trains(to purchase or even sell your collection) I’ve been in this store many many times and the feel is really great. For the engineer: Lots of parts, intelligent toy train operational layout guides, and track plans. For the novice: Boxed sets of COMPLETE plug in and go train sets with your own remote control! For the collector… consider this your retail Marshall’s…meaning you gotta stop in because good merchandise is rolling through in all the time. Come on in! For the educated consumer: BOOKS and a Lionel service tech on site! Yowxers! Come meet charming train author Douglas Weiskopf, author of Rails Around Houston. His claim to fame is not only working here, but cheerfully guiding you on your train experience. Conveniently located in Houston. Why not stop in? Multiple times.
