I used to do model trains when I was a kid and now Im getting back into it with my kid. Of course over the years Im a little bit behind the times and Race was incredible for taking the time and explaining all the modern things and made me and my son feel very comfortable! I love this store because not only is it a place by great train stuff but its a great place to come and have a fun conversation about trains or anything! Race is a great guy and makes it very fun! Do business with this place. Its not a corporate store... its a community store with personality! ❤️️

The guy that runs it is super nice, but unfortunately the store is trashed. Piles of empty boxes, non train related items and more are piled up everywhere. Some items had no price on them. There appeared to be even more stuff in the back of the store and im sure there is some neat stuff, its just so hard to find anything. If you spend a few days cleaning and organizing, this could be one of the best stores Ive ever been in, but in its current state, its just not ideal.

Despite the store being messy, the owner KNOWS his stuff and was kind enough to spend 30 minutes with me diagnosing a problem with a locomotive. If you look closely with what he has in stock, you might just discover that hidden gem youve always been looking for(I did). So if you can stand looking through the boxes and boxes of stuff, its a great place to visit. You can find stuff in G, O, HO, N and Z scale here.

theres a massive pile of boxes to the right but the rest of the store is well organized. The owner is always there and is extremely helpful with any sort of scale modeling advice. if there is ANYTHING he doesnt have in his shop, he will order and have within 4 days. Really saves on shipping and cost from just buying it on the internet. Also has the only Tamiya or Floquil paints I have found in the area.

Owner was very friendly extremely knowledgeable and he had exactly what I needed, plus hes has a 200 scale Battleship Missouri model I desperately want, the only other place I could find it was in Japan at almost twice the price .Store in slight disarray but dont let that throw you if he doesnt have what you need he can order it ricky tick, but chances are he does .

This train shop is the absolutely best kept secret in Houston/Spring. Not a lot of marketing but top notch model train repair in all scales. He even carries some Marklin which is sometimes hard to find in the states. Let the messy shop keep everyone else away and get your trains, parts, and repairs here!

Trains is a great hobby and model shop. While its focus is on model trains, there is plenty of materials for the hobby generalist. Race the owner is a retired engineer and he can fix any toy or train you bring in. The only downside is that its cash only, so plan ahead!

This place is great. Race is helpful and knowledgeable. He takes the time to listen to your questions and offer advice. Even if his store wasnt the closest to my house, Id make the drive out there to give him my business. A+

Well, other than the disorganization...he does know his "stuff" about model trains. He has some pretty good stuff...and sometimes...you can find the hard to find here.

Race, the owner, continues a business that is a rapidly disappearing piece of Americana, supporting the historical railroad industry of the US.
