While we were there, we noticed a line forming nearby and decided to check it out. To our surprise (and my granddaughter's absolute excitement), it was HobbyTown doing a NeeDoh drop at 10am! The line kept growing and at 28 degrees we were freezing, but there was no way we were giving up our spot. Thankfully, the owner opened a little early and everything was very well organized. They limited purchases to two per person, and since we were third in line, we had time to pick exactly what we wanted. Such kind owners and a great experience overall. We'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the store.

ONLINE BUYERS BEWARE. I ordered parts with Laurie waited a few weeks and never received the items…read more I called her and she said she did not know whether or not they have been shipped out to wait a few more days. What an answer. I waited another week and the items had not arrived. I called her again and she had the same response. At that point i assumed she didn't want to sell the items and she was never going to send them. Two weeks after that i received the items. They were post marked three days prior. I bought two of bs55 one of the packages has the bolts rusted and the aluminum washers eaten up with corrosion. I called her and she said they will clean up with oil. I told her you could not clean up the washers due to them being aluminum and had been eaten up with the corrosion and the bolts finish would be damage. her response was i can get washers anywhere. I told her i was using them for a restoration and needed to be original. If i wanted to replace them with just any washer or bolt then why did I ordered them from her. With an attitude she said to return them. Know i have to spend money to send them back. WOW . I attached pictures of corroded and non corroded package. This would not be a big issue but her attitude is horrible..

More helpful than any hobby store I have ever been to. Their selection is not quite as big as some stores but the value and pricing is good so I will often order items from them if they do not have them in stock. Not to say their selection is not good. In fact, they have a large variety of used HO scale buildings and train cars for sale more than any hobby shop I have been too. I am always appreciative of them and their ability to answer many questions.

Generally their shipping is quite fast. In saying that in the past when an item was slow to ship and they could not complete the entire order they did not charge me shipping which was unexpected, but a nice touch I thought. However, their products always arrive well packaged. Never have I had a product damaged when shipped by Hiawatha Hobbies. I absolutely recommend Hiawatha Hobbies and will continue to use them going forward. They are a great stop for model railroaders.

Plus the store is filthy and very unorganized. You're better off going to Amazon.

They have models from 50 years ago in the original boxes. Lots of hotrods, aircraft, ships, military and everything in between. They have Lionel and Marx trains and parts, in cabinets, display cases, bins, and boxes, unseen in the markets for generations. They have a good number of completed models from generations ago with a few that I believe are for sale. It's dusty. It's a little damp in the air. You're going to have to do a little digging. This isn't one of the flashy, running after every trend to sell you the latest junk. This is the old school hobbyist's store looking for something from our childhood... The owner is very knowledgeable, honest and seems to be a pretty straight shooter. In my dealings with him, I've always thought he treated me fairly.
