One of the few hobby stores in midtown, Red Caboose specializes in model trains, diecast cars,…read moreplanes, and model kits but they also have a small stock of paint, supplies, and accessories. If you really need something or are in the area, the staff seem knowledgeable and helpful although the store selection leaves a lot to be desired. A lot of stock looks old and dusty and needs attention before use. There are some new boxed sets and items but pricing is high here.

Extensive collection of trains, a few cars, and diorama things. The prices in the cars, which is…read morewhat we were after, was a little steep for cars with lots of dust, some damage, and no boxes. The guy was busy selling another couple on a train set, but didn't seem to ask them any good questions till the end of his speech only to find out it was for a child, and not the gentleman. Also they have cats that roam free, and you can smell it and watch for poop.

Cool store to browse and has a lot of unique items you do not normally see elsewhere. The layout is…read moreclean, products are well displayed, and it is easy to spend time looking around. That said, the prices felt pretty steep for many of the items being sold. While there were some interesting finds, it was hard to justify the cost on a lot of them. Worth stopping in if you are already in the area and enjoy browsing specialty shops, but I found myself admiring more than buying. Overall, a fun visit, just a bit overpriced for what it offers.

Absolutely amazing! This place is the go-to store for all antique and modern vehicle toys. Trains,…read morecars, tanks, planes, you name it they have it. The people here are very nice, and they even repair your items. They also have a convenient parking lot next to the building

The value is standard for NYC, a little more pricey but generally in step with the market for US!

I've loved Toho Shoji since their days on 36th St. and 6th Ave, been shopping here since I was 16…read more They're the only bead and trimming store from that era still standing, and I've always appreciated their consistency. Kazumi has been my favorite manager for years--our encounters are always joyful--and today I also met Tamaki, who had a wonderful, welcoming presence. Normally my visits are a 9-10/10, but this time fell short due to Kaoru's behavior. After I politely declined a tray in the crystal section, she sucked her teeth and muttered something under her breath. Later at checkout, Kaoru -- a woman with a bob haircut) -- ignored my question until I repeated it, tossed my receipt at me, didn't bag my items, and walked away when I asked her name, telling me "it wasn't necessary". I also couldn't help but notice I was the only one who looked like me in the store at the time, which made the interaction feel targeted. This was especially disappointing because every other transaction I've had here has been handled with care. As a loyal, long-time customer, I hope Kaoru's attitude improves, because the warmth and professionalism I've consistently received from Kazumi and Tamaki are what make Toho Shoji such a special place.
