The stories or reviews you might have read already about how great this place is an understatement…read more They aren't pushy for sales and in fact lean more towards being life long enthusiasts who want to share their knowledge and experience. It's a pity that you rarely find these type of places... the type that seems as if making money is an afterthought because of the love of what they do. If you're into trains then this place is absolutely for you. They sell other types models of "traditional" models other than trains but they don't carry them in stock and require ordering.

The older gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and inviting. As I Walked in he was helping out a couple of people and explaining how to make something work and how to test what they had to get it up and running. Again great selection, helpful and, friendly and the prices seemed very reasonable. I can't wait to get back there once I clear out a spot to start my train diorama.

Did the Topps chrome buy back recently and that went very smooth. That was nice to not have any drama and have a Topps affiliate close. It seems like they try and do more stuff with the community and I do see the store have people in pretty often. Value is fine, they seem to find a price for blasters and stick to it, which is nice considering other shops in the dfw area had very floating pricing recently on wwe cards. Check them out if you like other sports genres. It's a big store with nice lighting and a low pressure experience. I'll be back.

We bought a Christmas gift that literally broke while we were still opening gifts. This was gifted to a gentle kid who was not using it outside of the expected use, and a piece broke off. I took it back to the store and the employee man-splained to me that even though it was broken, it still worked. He actually located the item on Amazon to show me what part was missing. I LITERALLY WATCHED IT BREAK. It was beyond insulting. I finally said that if he wasn't going to exchange or refund, Id like to leave (he kept the item this entire time and wasnt giving it back). Additionally, we bought a lionel item for a family member who had a duplicate. They had a record of the sale in the computer and still found a way to deny an exchange of an unopened item. Stores like this are why Amazon thrives. Even when I try to buy from the little guys, they find a way to make me regret it.

We went again today and even found a whole section we'd missed the first time! The working model trains were so fun to watch too! And the owner/worker was so kind, so knowledgeable, and very helpful! If I had zero knowledge about model trains, I'd feel good just walking in to learn and get a set-up. He even had some Lego and duplo supplies (he said he'd sold out of Lego motorized trains but sells them and is getting more). He helped us pick out a small N scale that fit on a table and was so easy to just plug in, snap together, my 5 year old was doing it and able to build the track! Though he needs some help to get the train wheels on the track sometimes, but it's fantastic for his fine motor, problem solving, taking care of it is good for a sense of responsibility, and learning basic electrical wiring/engineering principles. The store also right by the Tex rail station! We made it a train day by riding Tex rail to downtown Grapevine for ice cream and pie, looking at the model train in the clock tower for ideas, then a ride to the model store! Such a great day, now tonight we're making houses, ducks, ponds from air dry clay and the scenery we bought from The Model Train Crossing. But seriously such a great store, an amazing place for kids! (And also for getting something that's 'for the kids' but secretly for you! :) ). I also saw tons of supplies that were clearly for experts, advanced sets! Fun to dream and will be fun to work up to that!

They also have a lot of stuff for the collectors too. The staff is great and very knowledgeable about this market and very helpful to boot. The place is small but it holds a lot of stuff to buy.

I hosted a graduation party on May 24th and rented this venue until 1 a.m. Unfortunately, a few…read moremajor issues turned what was supposed to be a special celebration into a stressful and embarrassing experience. First, the air conditioning situation was unacceptable. While setting up earlier in the day, all the AC units were functioning fine. But by the time our event started at 5:45 p.m., the venue started getting noticeably warmer. By 7:30 p.m., it was unbearably hot. We realized that only two of the AC units were actually running, despite there being multiple units around the venue, each controlled by 4 different remotes. No matter what we tried, the remotes would not turn the other units on. On top of that, two of the AC unit/fans were leaking, which our guests complained about throughout the evening. There were PUDDLES of water everywhere by the end of the night. We attempted to contact the owner, Monica, multiple times, and she finally responded after several attempts--far too late to resolve the issue. The heat got so bad that guests were leaving the venue to cool off in their cars before trying to come back in. Many left by 10 p.m., unable to enjoy the event. I was incredibly embarrassed. I spent a lot of money on this venue expecting my guests to have a good time, and they did not. Second, the bartender situation was completely unprofessional. We hired the bartender through the venue, and later found out she's related to the owner (which would've been fine--if she had done her job). My guests told me she disappeared for almost an hour, and one of my own guests had to step behind the bar and serve drinks. I later found out the bartender was outside "taking a break" because it was too hot. A 15-minute break is one thing, but vanishing for an hour while getting paid hourly is absolutely ridiculous. To top it off, here's a helpful tip: if you rent this venue, bring your own trash bags--even if you've paid a cleaning fee. Apparently, that doesn't include basic supplies. Bottom line: This place is not worth the money, time, or stress. Poor climate control, poor communication, and poor staffing made for a miserable night. I will never return, and I do not recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event.
