We are finally able to share some exciting InterCity Trains and Hobbies news! This summer, we will be moving into a different unit in our current mall, featuring almost three times the retail space of our current store.

The new location will allow us to bring in more of our existing product lines, more large-scale products, and some exciting new products and brands. We even have a few new layouts in different scales ready to go into the new space, and we will finally have enough room to resume our plans for in-store clinics and workshops!

We will share more details as we get closer to summer. Please note that the store will be closing for a week or two at the end of July / beginning of August to make the move and get the new unit set up.
