Hobby shop near Penn Station
Last weekend, I was looking through the latest copy of Model Railroader and noticed an ad for another hobby shop in Manhattan – Gotham Model Trains on 35th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue not far from Penn Station. Their ad indicated that they carry American and European trains, so I had to check them out…
Gotham Model Trains is located on the 13th floor in a non-descript office building at 224 West 35th. When I was there, a young and friendly sales clerk was helping another customer so I had a little time to look around by myself.
Upon entering you are greeted by a nice little layout showcasing Märklin rolling stock. Other European brands they carry include Trix, of course, BRAWA, Roco and Hornby.
The store also seems well stocked with American brands, track and accessories, which are neatly arranged around the showroom. Locomotives are displayed in well-lit and clean cases.
Didn’t really compare prices but from what I can tell they are reasonable, so I will definitely be back.
