Updated Video for Gigantic Layout

Here is a new video of the large toy train layout that we work on each year in Kentucky.

That Quiet Time of Year for Toy Trains

That's right, it's Summer, and nobody is thinking about toy trains at the moment. Enjoy the fun of being outdoors, but Summer will pass, cool days will return, and once again it will be time for our favorite indoor hobby, messin' with the trains. There will be plenty of new catalogs, lots of new items will begin shipping around mid-August, and the cycle will all begin again...

Father's Day - 2009

Well, it"s that time of year again, when we honor dear old dad. So, get together with dad on Sunday, and run some trains!

Encouraging the Toy Train Hobby

Toy Train Magazines & books- As most of you know, we accept used toy train magazines & books to give to children that visit the shop. Our supply is getting low, so if you have anything to offer, please gather it up and bring it in. Just think of the satisfaction that you will have because you are helping to encourage a younger generation to enjoy the toy train hobby.

Toy Trains in a Bad Economy

We're all feeling the pinch of the economic downturn. We're selling unneeded items, and duplicate trains. We may change our own layout plans, making them smaller. What are you doing differently and what ways have you found to still enjoy the hobby while spending less money?

Running Some Trains for the Kids

Remember, we will be happy to drop what we're doing, and run some trains for the kids. So if they've been good at the grocery store, or the dentist, reward them with a promise to stop in for a visit. We'll get the trains running.
