The owner is himself a model builder and is knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to chat with. Overall this place is easy to recommend. When you're driving by, go slow because it's easy to miss the store. It's on one side of a strip mall and given the nearby tree coverage it's easy to miss.

This shop is located in the end unit of a small strip mall. Don't drive too fast because you just might drive by it...like we did. Upon entering you are surrounded by models of all types.

We will be visiting again soon!

A train buddy of mine recommended this place as a good destination when taking a trip with the…read morewife. He said they had lots of trains, and other things that would appeal to the misses. He was correct on both counts. It took an hour to get here from Albany (actually, a little more because we got lost and our smart phone led us astray) and as we were arriving at lunch time we both hoped that food might have been part of their wares. Sadly, it was not. What we did find was a charming store that seemingly carried everything one could ask for if trapped in a nearby camping area. They had an eclectic selection of nature, history, cooking, an entertainment books; local candles, soaps, and jam; sewing and craft supplies; toys, puzzles, games, and other similar things; car, boat, plane, and R/C plane kits; metal soldiers and castles; chochkes and knickknacks; and they had trains. I took about 45 minutes in the store and believe I saw everything. They didn't excel in one area but had a nice selection of a little bit of everything. Their hardware section was extremely small, and I overheard someone asking for twine which they didn't have (and I thought that was odd). I was hoping to find some old fashioned candy but their sweets selection was limited. I purchased a small soap for my mother but otherwise didn't buy anything except a pastry made nearby at a bakery. But, I came for the trains and they had lots of them. Someone looking for a train set would find a good selection in various scales (N, HO, O, and G) here. Their prices were decent and considering that they were located in the middle of nowhere I think more than fair. Their selection included lots of new, modern trains (meaning, made recently) which surprised me, as well as some old, used trains. They had books, magazines, hats, whistles, and some VHS tapes that likely will be there for eternity. They had a couple of display layouts that hadn't been operated in a while, including one in Z scale which I thought was neat. Sadly, I couldn't find anything I needed. I hate going to a train store, especially one where the proprietor is actually trying to run a nice store, and not buying anything. They had some things that interested me but their prices weren't what I wanted to pay. They had some great prices on things but I didn't need or want them. So, I bought a pastry and left without a train purchase, actually feeling disappointed. It is a cute store. It won't replace the local, well stocked train stores near me but it was a fun destination place. For anyone camping nearby that needed something to keep themselves busy I can imagine this would be a little bit of paradise.

Unfortunately for me, the new place is 25 miles further north at the Jefferson Valley Mall. This is as far as you can go in Westchester county because Putnam county is just across the street. Like most malls across the country, JVM is not doing great, with not a lot of tenants or customers and it just seems to be barely hanging on. At least their anchor store, Macy's hasn't bailed yet. I'm hardly ever up this way, but when I am, I'll stop in at WTH to see any new stuff (and to see the old stuff). The new store has almost as big a footprint as the Galleria store, but way bigger than the previous White Plains mall one, which got the wrecking ball also (I'm not sure if that's a good omen). Everything was moved here, every plane, train & automobile (literally) and even Barbie (but no Oppenheimer). John told me he has big plans for the new store and to check back for new inventory soon. Each aisle has a hobby specialty. The biggest proportion is in the back where all the model trains reside. Glass cabinets are filled with vintage Lionel trains and other well known brands. The Hot Wheels collection made it over, as well as the Barbie and Hess truck collections. But my main hobby focus are model airplanes and ships and their collection of old kits is pretty impressive. They get new old kits all the time by buying up old collections and reselling. This trip, I got (3) 70's-80's nostalgic plastic airplane kits that I've had or wanted since I was a kid. I could wander the aisles here all day and they would have to kick me out. Maybe I'll go back after I grab some lunch at the food court...
