Sorry....not familiar with that store,but Im sure someone here is.
I've never heard of them. Where did you come across them?
That the new name for Island Trains.... briefly discussed here:
Dixie Line
I've dealt w/ Island Trains - Closeout trains - Model train store of New Jersery on several occasions; always happy with the results (hope this doesn't serve as a jinx). I've never had a problem, but whenever a question arose, Henry always spoke with me personally (or e-mailed me right away). One of the few places left where the owner is available and takes an interest.

Let me just chime in here to say... yes, that's Henry's place. I recognized the address... and just purchased a couple of brand new items from him on eBay at fabulous prices. And if something needs attention, Henry has always been quick to step in and take care of the issue. Highly recommend buying from him.

I'd also recommend them. Henry is very helpful and responsive. I bought my pre-orders from Lionel 2012 V1 from him and everything has been great. I intend to buy the Presidential cars from him. I've also bought from his closeouttrains ebay store and everything was as advertised.

Thanks to all for the helpful replies!
Steve Olsen - I was googling for a specific Lionel Item # and Model Train Store of NJ came up (with many others). They had slightly better price but shipping could change that.
Very interesting, thanks for the info. I remember a store on Hylan Blvd on Staten Island in NY called Island Trains, I assume that's the same one.
