I "rediscovered" model railroading and discovered O Gauge at Metro Trains and Hobby.   Jack Bowles (owner) designed my track plan, and sent it to me.  Once finalized I bought all my track, a redone ZW, and a couple of new engines there. He shipped everything to me at my home- at a discount due to the volume. 

A great place to visit- very knowledgeable, and a good stock level of HO, N and O Gauge trains.  Also a decent stock of used O Gauge and Am Flyer.

Near Clearwater and St. Pete.  They even have post-war Lionel parts!

Don't know if they have a store - I use their NJ store - Yankee Dabbler, New Port Richey

I've been wanting to check this place out in Pinellas Park but haven't yet. They say they are "Florida's Largest Train Store"

H & R Trains in Pinellas Park is a very fine train store.  All scales, great service and repair.  They just moved, so make sure you have the new location.  I haven't been there since they moved.

Zitnit's Trains is relatively new, only been open about three or four years.  All scales, great service and repair.  They also buy collections, so he has a good selection of preowned items.  Also a good selection of used Flyer and Lionel parts.  His store is a little hard to find, sitting behind the McDonalds on Ulmerton Road, (Route 601?) in Pinellas Park.

If you find one, let me know.  I live in SW Florida and have tried to find a "fitting train store" like you would see up North.  Pretty difficult with all of the gauges available, and the need to carry a decent inventory.  

This is Dave Zitnik, owner of Zitnik Trains, our correct address is 5193 73rd Av N, Pinellas Park, FL 33781, phone number: 727-201-9668. I invite everyone to come by and check us out. Or send us an email and we will add you to our email list.

Thanks for the "thumbs up".  I have been to your store a number of times and have been impressed with your selection and service.  I hope to see you tomorrow at Deland.

Have visited H&R Trains many times when we had a house in Haines City.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I do understand they have recently moved from their original location.

Another place I recommend is Ready to Roll if your down in Miami. Again they are friendly and helpful. They carry a good range of Lionel but a huge range of MTH.
