First off, I want to say the selection is fantastic, and the individual I worked with was…read moreknowledgeable, and pretty friendly. The store was a disaster though, I understand that the space is small, but not only is it a bit of a mess, but it's also rather cluttered. Combine those factors with the shelves far too close together (both an accessibility and fire hazard), and you get a rather unpleasant time shopping. Play space seemed good, but solely as a shopper this place was a disaster.

I've been going here for a while and Its been a very welcoming environment with a great community…read more The owner is understanding and polite, and he has a great selection of cards, miniatures, and games for good prices. I've always come in and been able to play whatever I want or buy whatever I want with little to no issue. Whenever I am there he's always polite to whom ever walks in and will answer all their questions to the best of his ability. For example last Saturday a boy and his dad came in asking about Warhammer 40K and he answered them and showed them a set that might work for what he wanted, but before they spent any money he recommended that he do research and come in the next day to watch some more experienced players. Overall it's a great experience and cannot recommend it enough.

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!

I shopped here on January 14th. The store is FILLED with Christmas clearance that is only 70% off…read more We're 3 weeks after the holiday, this stuff should be at 90% and maybe there would be room to have the Valentines Day crafts out rather than cutting your already short V-day window down by another 2 weeks. There were unopened stock boxes which I assume held the Valentines Day items placed haphazardly around the store. The employees were really friendly and helpful directing me to find specific items I needed.

... I had a generally good experience--decent selection, good price on custom framing but there was…read moreone issue. An item I was purchasing rung up at $39.99 but, on the shelf, it said $32.99. I didn't realize I'd been overcharged until viewing my receipt after. I went back in and asked a clerk in the aisle to scan it again and it was $39.99. When I mentioned the cost on the shelf, she said the price had gone up. So I did a little research and this is the law in Massachusetts. The price on the shelf prevails. I didn't really have time to back and wait in line again over $7 but it stills a bit of a sour taste... https://blog.mass.gov/consumer/massconsumer/massachusetts-item-pricing-law/
