The Train Station

The Train Station The Train Station is a full time model railroad shop in Columbus, OH, which has been in business since 1974.

We carry exclusively model railroad and train products and supplies. The Train Station carries full lines of many model railroad products and supplies in HO, N, O, O27, and G scales, as well as books, DVD videos, magazines, calendars, scenery products, paints, and brass models. We deal with several manufacturers and distributors to bring you the widest selection of model trains in the central Ohio

area, including complete starter sets, locomotives, rolling stock, structures, scenic materials, figures, vehicles, tools, couplers, trucks, wheelsets, and other supplies. Our selection of books and magazines covers both model railroad and prototype railroad subjects. We can also special order items we do not have in stock, usually with no additional shipping fees. We offer DCC decoder installation services for HO scale locomotives. The Train Station also purchases and sells used and previously owned HO scale models. While we do not offer a full repair service, we can help diagnose and troubleshoot basic problems you may have while running your model trains. Please visit our website for additional information, directions, news, model railroad and railfan related links, and an online shopping cart where you can order from our current selection of HO scale locomotives, passenger cars & brass models, N scale locomotives & passenger cars, G gauge starter sets, locomotives, rolling stock, & structures, and DCC systems, decoders, books, & accessories.

Walthers Trains www.walthers.com has announced a second run of their HO scale Proto streamlined caboose. New roadnames and paint schemes include Norfolk & Western in red with either the halfmoon/hamburger or block NW logo, Chicago & Eastern Illinoise, and Ann Arbor in orange, along with new numbers in Wabash red/white, and a re-release of the Norfolk & Western Bicentennial scheme.

The first run of these cabooses sold out very quickly and we expect similar with this one, so advanced reservations are highly recommended. The cabooses are scheduled for release early next year, and our price will be $67.50. Submit your order to us in store, or via phone call, email, or Facebook Messenger.
