I'm mobile to to be able to switch to a cane for a short time, but that limits how long I can spend anywhere. The store is very tiny and cramped. It seemed very well stocked, but again, I could not stay long. Customer service was non-existence. The only thing the cashier said to me was asking if I wanted my receipt or not.

With so few hobby shops left, it is good to know the folks at Tyngsboro are there…read more If you are into N scale model railroading, they have a LOT to choose from. They also have HO, of course, but usually no one stocks N scale items. HUGE selection of cars and locomotives. Also buildings and vehicles. There is one isle of model car kits, and it is usually well stocked. The paint and supply section is also usually well stocked. Prices are a bit high, but when you think about it, this is a brick-and-mortar building and you are not paying shipping. So it is up to you if you want to pay their prices. The staff has been there a while and can be very helpful.

Amazing experience! Larry and Brian were very informative when I needed help with my project.read more

Best model shop I've ever been to!…read more This place is absolutely bursting with amazing well-priced mech kits and products for hobbyists. If you're looking for gundam, historical model kits, Warhammer, ttrpg minis or just something cool: this is the place to go! I found a kit that has been sold out online for months- total score!! Staff was very kind and helpful. It's a small shop but has great vibes and if you need help finding things- just ask! The entrance is a bit confusing to find; it's through the shared doors in the plaza and up the short set of stairs. Ample Free parking in the area :)

The owner is extremely knowledgeable. I had a bunch of questions the last time I visited, and he was very patient with me. He answered all my questions. They also have a bunch of card games and board games. In the past, I stopped in and there were a bunch of folks in a side room playing an online video game. Unfortunately, COVID had a bit of an impact on that business. It sounded like they are trying to work out a new contract to get that going again.

Great spots and fantastic staff. Awesome selection and definitely more games than you find in most…read morestores.

These days, there aren't many model railroad shops around, but North East Trains is still here and…read morestill selling trains! The store's got a lot of O scale (Lionel) trains and it's clearly the primary focus of the store, but there's also a couple aisles of HO scale and a couple displays of N scale. Look hard and maybe you can find some S or G scale. The back room also has a selection of scenery materials and model kits. With the overwhelming amount of merchandise, items are overflowing into the aisles. It can be hard to find things if you're looking for anything specific. If you're looking for the latest HO releases from Rapido, Atlas, or Athearn, this isn't the place. ...but if you want to get some inexpensive freight cars and track for your favorite kid (or yourself), you're bound to find something here. The staff has obviously been in the hobby for quite some time and should be able to answer your questions.

What a great store! I was in town visiting a train layout nearby and stopped in here. They have a…read moregood selection of new stock (mostly O gauge, but some N, HO and G scale too) and a tremendous variety of used trains in all the popular gauges. In the back they have scratchbuilding supplies, books, and paint. I found some stuff here (O gauge vinyl roadbed) that hasn't been made in years. In talking with the staff, they purchase collections of stuff so they don't always know what they will have. It is like walking into a used train show, and the prices are very fair. The staff are also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I only wish I lived closer than 3 hours away!

And I was walked in person to the area of the store to find what I was looking for. Really large selection of overpriced gift wrap. I bought what I needed.

The Paper Store / Hallmark is based out of Acton, and now has two stores throughout the town, one here on Massachusetts Avenue and another in a plaza on Great Road. Being that this one is newer and was in the space of a former CVS, it's large, modern and super vast! Definitely one of the best Paper Store locations I have been to in terms of inventory. I shop here mostly during the holiday season, because they have just so many options, and even with the higher-than-average prices, it's worth finding things you won't be able to find elsewhere without ordering online (which I am highly against). Currently, they have lots of 30% off coupons, and the catalogs are always appealing. Here, the Hallmark Card variety is outstanding and the staff are friendly and keep a warm, happy, and calm attitude to the store. Definitely a cool place to shop, and one of the spots that answers the question of "what should I get for her / him?" 4 stars for this Paper Store.
