While visiting some friends in the Atlanta area, we drove past Trainz, an OGR Forum Sponsor. So we visited the folks at Trainz, great folks, a Huge Warehouse, 75,000 square feet and new to them. Happy Railroading Everyone.

When I visited Trainz in their old location about ten or so years ago, I got a similar treatment. I had just moved to Chester and had won a group of four Custom Brass 0 scale PRR MP-54s. I noted that one, they allowed a pick-up in person; and two, the total for shipping was quite a bit more than my gas would cost for about a three-hundred mile round trip. So off I went, I got there just in time for the lunch-hour closing so went up the street to a Subway for lunch. I got back by the time that they opened and picked up my stuff plus a few small items that were out front on sale. As I recall, the owner was away for a train show so we did not meet. Someday, I would like to visit the new place I had no idea that it is as large as it is!

@leapinlarry, thanks for sharing Larry, I'm glad you had a great time.  Seeing how big the place is, and the enormity of incoming stock, note those Home Depot boxes, the layout, and the display cases behind the layout, Scott and company must have one really good inventory and "catalog" system to keep track of and locate all the items in stock.  It amazes me that every order I've ever placed has shipped in less than 24 hours of completing the order.

I've been buying from Scott since 2003 and he has always been good to deal with. We met at York in 2017.

I wish they were here. There are 7 plus million people in the valley and not ONE train store to be found.

No, you can't have them, the northern climes have all these shows and train stores, but Trainz is in the South, plus a little bit of GA touches my state NC,  and an order placed on one day, is usually hear the day after.

@RSJB18, Hey Bob, I like your comment on taking five minutes to grab all the trains possible, Wow what a super idea. We certainly enjoyed our visit and will be going back. They actually repair trains, old , modern era, and TMCC/Legacy… They will have a showroom in the near future. I will be sending them a list of my trains in the near future to. I do not want to go the shows, drag the trains there and bring home what doesn’t sell, they are reliable. Happy Railroading Everyone
