Finally, a new Model Train Store coming to town

[vintageogauge]

A much needed model train store is coming to town. Nick's Vintage Trains will be opening in mid September offering for sale a large display of vintage Lionel O gauge model trains and accessories along with some American Flyer O, S, and Standard gauge trains. Nick's is also a value added Lionel retail store offering in stock and catalog order Lionel products along with several other brands of trains and accessories. They are also buyers of used model trains and model train collections. The new location will be at 113 N. Main Street in Wildwood directly across from City Hall.

I hope they have other hobby related items, I have been looking for a hobby store close by.

A very specialized store today sells most of their stuff over the internet. It has Ben to me that most people do model trains only when it's raining outside otherwise they play golf

A new model train store is coming to town. A brick and mortar store is a rarity these days. Scheduled for a mid September opening it will be located on 301 in Wildwood across from City Hall.

Nobles hobby shop was there but didn’t carry trains. Hope this is part of the Wildwood revitalization plan. As a model railroader I welcome the store.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I model mostly smaller gauges than those listed, but I'll definitely check them out and am sure they'll get at least some of my money! Agree with others here, a nice large general hobby shop would be a nice addition too.

Who is this Ben? You might want to rewrite your post.

The problem with having a general hobby store is the space needed and the cost of inventory over and above the cost of filling the store with model trains. I know trains, especially postwar and prewar Lionel but I don't know anything about other hobbies. I might eventually get into RC cars and boats as there is a course at Everglades and another one going in I believe on the other side of the Turnpike.

Ben must be the guy who told him that everyone living here are golfers and they are on the courses all day long therefore not having time for model trains except on rainy days LOL.

Totally understand, and in my experience trains get 2nd class status in most 'hobby' stores so one dedicated just to them makes me an instant customer. I look forward to checking the store out, thanks!

we will be seeing these on the cart paths soon? I suppose its better than the endless line-dancing that breaks out nightly in every square and every karaoke event...

I sold RC aircraft as a Horizon Hobby dealer for several years through my computer store the Hackery. As a private pilot and aviation enthusiast, I had fun but didn’t make a lot of money doing so. I would wish the owner of the train store well and tell him to have fun.

I believe they have one of those set up at the model train museum in Bushnell.

I owned a Lionel train store before I moved to Florida. It was a lot of fun and very successful.
