On 3/17/2024 Rocco McVicker had this to say:
Excellent selection of trains, accessories, track, and even toys for the kids. Train service and support was excellent and the guys are helpful and knowledgeable all around. I am a kid again. Thank you. Ceiling layout is complete, just 1 more tweak remains.

On 3/17/2024 Frank M. had this to say:
Great hobby shop, go support them!!!! Large selection and very knowledgeable staff, .

On 2/20/2024 Nick Clancy had this to say:
Warning! Leave your wallet in the car...this place has everything! This hobby shop ranks with the largest inventories I've seen in Chicagoland and by far the best presented. I stepped in, saw the mega-inventory, stepped back outside and said a "don't spend too much prayer," and went back in. If you've only experienced anemic inventories of stores trying to hang on (and please do hang on, and please support your local hobby shop!) then you need to pop into this place. But leave plenty of time. They had all the new stuff, stuff from recent years, and my favorite part - old hard to find kits, trains, toys...also neatly arranged. All the prices appeared competitive and very good value for money on the used stuff. Here's another bonus--a large kids toy section and not all the giant plastic junk in the aisles of T****t and W**M**t. Guaranteed there's dozens of items your kids have not seen before and will want to have, and you prefer they have. Toddlers to Teens. Go!!! Check out ABTT&H. Support your local hobby shop...spend the extra dollar to keep them open. It's much more exciting than another box on your doorstep!
