Like an old fashioned variety store; has everything, including a pretty large amount of legos.

At the last minute I thought to get balloons for my nephews birthday and I just so happen to arrive, a minute before closing. As they were locking up, Chris was so kind to let me still grab the balloon I needed. I really appreciated them allowing me this small kind gesture, which I know is going to make my nephew so happy. I also appreciate that they were understanding, It’s very heartwarming to know businesses and people still care about others.I will have to return at an earlier time, and I plan to bring my nephew so he can explore the many wonderfully filled aisles.

Great for learning more about the hobby. Everyone here was a fountain of information and gave great tips and such for painting. Standard pricing for everything.

Let's look at what users say about this business

The staff is very friendly and helpful customer service is 5/5 if you have a question, they have the answer. Also, the player community is very welcoming and willing to teach if you’re new to the hobby. There is a bit of consistency issues in terms of hours that its open (for instance they close from 3:30 – 4:00 for lunch but that’s not posted on Google). But that’s understandable, I don’t believe they’re properly staffed and I’m sure that’s not their fault. They’re doing the best they can with what they have, and as the go to Warhammer store in NYC they have my support.Also, follow the Facebook page. They usually post if they’re closed for the day or will open at a later time there.

Shipping took a little longer this time but understandable in view of request I had made. Well worth the wait. Thank you Abigail! 🙂

Let's look at what users say about this business

I had a QC issue with an Athearn Genesis model I got from them. I gave Trainworld a call to see if they could provide an exchange. I was put on the line with Theresa and she provided me with exemplary customer service. They had a replacement ready for me on the same day and I got to inspect it at my leisure before taking it home. The staff were all very kind and accommodating. I’ll be coming back!

Let's look at what users say about this business

I’m a new costumer at Trainworld because their pricing is super competitive. I’d like to share my experience and tell you why I would not buy from them again.The sale price for my first order was really attractive for a genesis 2.0 locomotive. The item came and I put it on the track, the speaker makes a loud pop as soon as track power is on, and it would do this every time when it gets power, the sound was crackling as well. I have many dcc engines and none of them pops or crackles. I requested a replacement, the rep said the item is now out of stock, I said refund would be fine then. I sent back the locomotive, one week later someone started to call me, I picked up one day and an employee from trainworld said that he received my return and tested it, he didn’t find anything wrong, regardless my refund was issued, but I don’t understand the reason for the call, I wrote it down exactly what’s the problem in my return request. Couple of days later I got the refund showed up on my credit card, but shipping was not refunded, only the item plus tax. I understand their terms saying shipping is never refundable, but this is not a buyer’s remorse situation, I ordered something and it came new defective, it’s not even my fault, and yet I had to pay something at the end for nothing. What’s more unacceptable to me is that several days later I found out they re-listed the same engine I returned back online for sale, that’s really disappointing.My second order came damaged from shipping, it’s usps’s fault. The entire front truck of my locomotive was detached when I removed it from the packaging, turned out usps was able to achieve a lot of Gs on my package and knocked the front truck tower cover off the assembly, setting the worm gear, driveshaft and truck tower cover all free and rattling around inside the box. I did not bother trainworld for this, I opened up the locomotive shell and reassembled everything back together. I’m not unreasonable, if the item has no factory defect, I’m ok dealing with it myself.Third order and last was the worst, the locomotive came as an used item, the box had cut seals with another seal on top of them, someone’s definitely been here before. I open the locomotive and quickly found out the front truck don’t turn freely, the whole thing doesn’t even sit correctly upright, the body wobbles left and right. When I put it on the track, front truck derails every single time at a left curve. There’s also shipping damage this time as well, a cab window got knocked loose in the box, I had to open up the shell and reinstall it myself. But there’s nothing I can do with the truck defect and I get it why this was returned once before.At this point I’m 3 out of 3 with problematic orders. If rough shipping happens so often, I think they should have known better instead of packaging trains with only brown paper around it. I’m loosing sleep over this, I haven’t even initiated another return on my 3rd train, I’m not even sure what to do with it, their defect rate is so high, but they’ll just think I’m the picky one.No matter how cheap their trains are, I will not do business with them again.

Walked in with my son. Met the owner. And as a noob in this rc world he was so helpful and patient. Knew everything about the cars and parts. I didn’t complete my purchase because I went in for a 3s.l and changed my mind for a 6s after he carefully explained the differences and what i want in a car. I will buy my kraiton at this store and will go to them for any labor work needed. There was no purchase made yet. But he did gain a new customer from me and my son. Not many of these guys around. Support the business.
