They have 2 stores, one in Brooklyn and one in Lynbrook. You can get to either by taking the train but the Lynbrook store is bigger and has more stuff on the shelf. If you have a car, parking around the Brooklyn location is the stuff of nightmares. Lynbrook has a parking lot! Enjoy your visit to NYC.

Also check out the High Line while you're visiting. It is former NY Central elevated tracks converted into a park.

P.S. Manhattan has a few good hobby shops too if you're not looking to schlep around. Enjoy your trip!

I have heard, but have not verified, that Trainworld in Brooklyn no longer allows walk ins. Good idea to check before you make the trip.

Ans I live here Ill give you the low down. Train World is not open to walk ins. Its all shipping and receiving now.  That may have changed, though.  You have to take a 40 min Subway ride there. As stated earlier, Trainland in Lynbrook is big and is a nice store. It is very easy to get to. You can take a train, Long Island Railroad, from Penn Station  34th and 7th Ave right to Lynbrook. Trainland is a 5 min walk from the station down Sunrise Highway and there are side walks. But Trainland is not open on Weekends until after Labor Day.

Take the LIRR to Lynbrook and go to Trainland.  The store is a reasonable walk from the station. You may have to change in Jamaica, but you can go from Penn Station or Grand Central depending on the easiest Subway line. I dont think you can walk into the one in Brooklyn anymore.

At Trainland, you can see the actual location where mobster Bobby Baccalieri met his untimely fate. It's just like NYC tourists heading over to the Meg Ryan's table at Katz's Deli for that "I'll have what she's having" experience.

I've also heard that Brooklyn is closed to the public. Take the LIRR to Lynbrook, see Trainland....get back on the LIRR a couple more stops to Freeport, and it's a short walk to Nassau Hobby on Merrick Rd.

In the link Bruce provided it states "The Showroom Is Closed".  It appears they have a pick-up window if you order from them and are a local.  Trainland has the showroom and as Bob said, hop back on the train a few more stops to Freeport and walk to Nassau Hobby.  "That's two, two, two stores in one!"

The information you seek is literally at the link in the post directly above your’s….

Thanks for the info.  To bad the Brooklyn showroom is not open. Probably won't venture out to Long Island.

TrainWorld - Brooklyn NY is Outdoor Pick Up Only (No Showroom)

Around 1979, my Son started working for Pete at the only location at the time; Ave M in Brooklyn. The store was right next to the Brighton line and there was a station at Ave M. Many customers that were in Manhattan on business; would take the train out to Brooklyn to see Train World. Here is an Angela Trotta Thomas rendering of that store.
