The Train Shoppe is a small locally owned hobby shop dedicated to model railroading products in all the scales. Located in beautiful downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, the business was originally started over 40 years ago. It has gone through many moves and ownership changes in that time, but the core concept has remained very much the same. Unlike many other full service hobby shops that attempt to be the jack of all trades, the Train Shoppe only sells model railroading and model railroading related products.
Combining this unique sales concept with over 100 years of combined model railroading experience of our sales and technical staff, makes our store the easy choice for the beginner or advanced modelers alike. Have a scratch building building question? No problem. Need advice about command control or layout design? We've got you covered. Found an old box of trains in the attic and want to know what they're worth? Yep, we can help you with that as well. At the Train Shoppe, we strive to be your one stop shop for all the amazing products that make up the world's greatest hobby!
If you are in the area be sure to come by and check out our showroom and take a look at our four operating layouts representing seven different scales. These layouts are there to help foster ideas, are a great tool for testing equipment, and for giving product demonstrations. Unlike many stores that won't let you test run before buying, we welcome this practice and encourage you to try it before you buy it!
