On 10/30/2024 K K had this to say:
Still my favorite place. Took out all the Testors 1960's -1970's muscle cars paint colors ; go mango,sublime, plumcrazy. Too much of the super expensive Vallejo and Revell paints- great paInts but expensive. Overall , Tony runs a great shop. Great old-time hobby store feel. Always a great conversation. Love the place

On 10/30/2024 Orzech Auto Truck and Tow LLC had this to say:
Been shopping here for almost 20 years. The only place I go to for my model train supplies. Weather online or in person I've never had any problems working the owner Tony and his amazing staff and family. They have me as a devoted customer until I'm dead or broke lol.

On 8/20/2024 matthew skarbek had this to say:
I have been coming here for years. Mostly plastic model building. The selection of paints is outstanding. I wish I had the money for a G Scale!

On 8/9/2024 Marc M. had this to say:
Probably the biggest selection in Chicagoland of model trains and everything else for your layout. The non-train side of the store is pretty amazing, too.

On 7/5/2024 Kale LeBlanc had this to say:
Huge selection of toys and trains. Hard to find items as well. All the quality lines of toys and a wide variety of trains of all different types. Used and pre built trains as well.
