Rudy's Hobby & Art: what do users think?

Angie V: Great spot to restock on basics and get some some new items. Purchased some charcoal and sketching paper for a great price.

Ram Luna: Lots of old modeling kits here and some other stuff from an Era long gone. Very nostalgic vibe too. The owner is very nice and funny!I went here to buy some gundam kits but the selection is a bit limited. I heard you could also special order from the owner if there are model kits you are looking for!

Christine Gina: Went to buy electric train set with grandson and his mom. They spent 267 dollars but it was missing a major part. Went right back and got our money back without any discussion. An unbelievable con. Advice don't shop there. Untrustworthy

Christopher Chilas: This is just a charming gem in Astoria. The owner is super friendly; the last time I was there he was giving detailed subway directions to someone new to the area.

jon maier: Store is jam packed full of anything scale modeling you could ever want. Has a full selection of 23ml Tamiya paints which is pretty rare to find, as well as other brands. Owner is super friendly and helpful. Truly one of the last stores of its kind, well worth the trip.

Kidkyoto: Great hobby shop in the heart of Queens. Great selection of model cars, tanks, planes, and sci fi ships at reasonable prices.Paint, glue and other supplies too.I think it's cash only though so be ready.

Mick Parker: I went there today and thr store is temporary closed right now the note on the door says it will be open july 7th.i been there once week ago.The owner there is very kind and nice the model price is reasonable they have tanks planes gundam star war stuff etc and decent paint selection really great place to hang out and spend your time

Jenn Moves: Rudy is so kind, and the books are very affordable. The first book I selected without looking was an Amazon book by Mary Pope Osborne from Magic Tree House publishing. He was nice enough to tell me the history of his lovely shop. go raibh maith agat 💚

Gil Borges: This is a unique hobby & collections store... Not only the owner is such a nice gentleman, he has an amazing inventory of collectibles and items for sale you probably wont find around very easily.

robert collins: Descent pricesFriendly service

Nichole Frustaci: An excellent hobby shop to pick up your favorite hobby always helpful a wonderful shop

C. Finley: with some Lionel O mixed in.The owner is quite nice and allows you to browse to your heart's content; he seems like he genuinely cares about his shop.If you're in the area and have an interest in model vehicles or model railroading; stop in. You won't find anything similar outside of Manhattan or Brooklyn.

Siddhi Khandeparkar: Great store, prompt service. Extensive collection of toy cars, jigsaw puzzles, color by number kits. Definitely going back to explore more.

Javier: Astoria gem. Wish the city will be able to keep more old stores like this open!

TRAINWORLD: what do users think?

Lucas Tison: Nice store, shame that covid closed down the showroom, but you're still able to buy from the store in person. Nice staff.

Priscilla Thompson: Train world I must go

Thomas pinto: Excellent prices. You can't beat them. Nice people. Not a good place for advice on railroad modeling. You have to research and know exactly what you want. No-problem with defective product if a return is necessary. Honest business. At times incredible selection of close-out products.

O. C.: an excellent store, you get everything related to model trains.

Anthony M: Got a damaged PCC streetcar. When I called and asked for an exchanged they sent me they documentation and photos they needed! Unbelievably too complicated! You almost need a degree in CSI to break down the photos their asking for!

mglan80: Great website with perfect filtering, good descriptions and inventory information. Very fast shipping and order processing. Informative videos, too. Impressive operation.

bruno barnes: Purchased a 23502 Williams 70 ton switcher and received it well packed and very quickly. Love the detail of this small dynamo. However, When placed on a layout with o27 curves it would derail any car placed behind it due to restricted knuckle movement. Called and talked to tech support who claimed to have never heard of this problem before. I told him that he must not read any reviews because there were two reviews for the tropicana version with identical issues. Bottom line is I'm on my own. I've asked for help on MTF and a couple promising suggestions have been offered. BTW, it was described as being able to navigate the o27 and it does. The cars that follow don't.

Victor Colon: Not only are there price's Great, there shipping is impeccable! Always on time.

Christopher: Order from them online all the time. Always the best prices, especially for Pre orders. Store is now a pickup only location. The have a store in Lynbrook, Trainland, for retail shopping.

Jessica Alvarez: There's no store, only a pickup window, but easy access on subway, and they deliver quickly, great prices, worth the pickup.

John D: Knowledgeable and friendly. Awesome place.

Joe LLanes: Ordered the walthers scenemaster pipe rack for my bulkhead flatcar. I Received the package pretty quick and was packed very well. If I need anything else I will be ordering from them again.

Dan Sutera: They have everything you could want at great prices. And the fastest shipping ever. Everytime I order it ships the same day. Great company.

Ni Mjohn: Great place.

For Reviews: COUNTERFEIT!!This company is selling defective, fake, and counterfeit model trains. STAY AWAY! You can only find out after you opened the package, and touch the item and then not able to return.

John F Peters (Jr302022): So far the website is easier to use I've been trying to get back into doing model trains like I used to with my grandfather and I just haven't had the place the money and I just would like to check out your site which I think I might buy things from you because maybe if the location or I just think you have a very good website to me

Bud Stinger: Please have a look at Better Business when considering this company.The service when something went wrong was the worst. All the shipping damage, wrong pieces shipped, and items shipped that were not ordered, were resolved at my expense. I will no longer do business with Trainworld.

Dr. Nirmal In New York ਸਿਕੰਦਰ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਸਿੰਘ: I’m a lady who is just starting her model train journey. I’ve gotten several Thomas the tank engine Bachmanns from these folks. Lovely. N such a joy when that box comes in the post! The packaging has always been secure for me.They r fast as an express with shipping!

Pedro Raymond: I love trainworld they have the best prices and I always buy from them for the locomotive mth

Address: 293 Sunrise Hwy, Lynbrook, NY 11563, United States

Business type: Model train store

TrainLand: what do users think?

Cristian Ivascu: Very good experience with this shop. The gentleman who assisted me was friendly and took the time to thoroughly test a model I was interested in.There were signifcant discounts on many interesting models as well. Just note that some items which appear as in stock online, might not be available for purchase in the shop. So worth checking in advance.Nontheless, the shop is very well stocked and has a wide selection of model trains and accessories in most scales. Definitely worth a visit!

Benicio Maximus Perez: They have so many trains in there

K Fedup: They offer the best prices on model RR items.

David Levine: This was my first visit to Trainland . I was greeted as I walked in and let the gentleman know I wanted to look around and then I'll hit him up.The store had a good number of customers and plenty of salesmen to help out. I'd say about 1/2 the store is O scale and the other half covering N, HO, etc. They have an extensive selection of new and vintage trains as well as buildings, scenery, etc.After enjoying walking around the store, I discussed with the salesman what I was interested in. He provided solid guidance and never tried to upsell. It was an excellent purchase experience. I heard the same helpful interactions with other salesman and customers as I walked around the store.Its about $30 in tolls for me to go to the store from Northern NJ so I won't visit in person much, but I'll absolutely be ordering from them online. Great experience!

Smart General Contracting Corp: Great service

Lioneta Osorio: The first time we walked in we were speechless. Their trains are incredible. The majority of the trains are collectibles, not toys, therefore pricey. We typically buy from the Lionel brand and the guys at the store are super knowledgeable about the different gauges and any questions we have ever asked.

woody woodpecker: Place has everything you need to start model railroad and all you need to add on to an existing railroad

Charles Dumblis: Went in the other day to buy a couple of pieces of track and a transformer to test some trains I have. Gentleman with long hair and glasses helped me, very friendly, never once tried to upsell me and explained to me what I needed and didn’t need and answered all my questions. I have fond memories of going here with my dad 15, 20 years ago and was happy to see they haven’t changed.

Johanne Immis: Wonderful staff! My 9 year old son needed his train fixed and they did a phenomenal job. His train runs as good as new. This place is a gem!

Mercedes Peguero: My Lil boy loveeeeee this store💙💙💙😍

Xavier Arroyo: I like how the inside of the place looks, lot of great things to see and look at

Christopher: Nice store, well stocked, carrying all scale sizes. Friendly staff. 2 mini layouts setup in the store. 5 minute walk from the LIRR Lynbrook station.

Jared Jagiello: My go to place for model trains and repairs! Sal and the repair team do a great job! I do wish that their prices on old used stuff for O gauge was a tad lower though... may get more ppl into the hobby

jorge D. orozco: Good service. The staff very nice and knowledgeable…

Karina Garcia: It the best
