Cincytrains posted:I'm in White Plains, NY and we are so luck to have a great store, Tom's Trains. I buy 75% of my new trains from him and buy that I mean Legacy trains. All my engines come from him! I may pay extra not sure but, its the service and lack of bouncing in a truck is another reason. But there are so many train stores in the metro area we are spoiled, Train Land, Nassau Hobby, The Train Station, etc...My postwar can come from Tom, Ebay. I go to Pennsylvania a lot and hit Nicholas Smith and Hennings when in Philly!.
I am curious what store in Westchester you were talking about that closed in 2000?
Hey, Have not heard from you in a while...I know not many were fans of Trent's Trains (in Tuckahoe, NY in the mid-1990's, then Harney Road in Scarsdale, then renamed to something else on Scarsdale/Yonkers area). So, Trent's Trains was really my first train store when I got back into the hobby in 1994. Started off with a 1615 postwar switcher and eventually a Williams brass B6 switcher from them with other things in-between. I may have been the only customer that actually liked the store...mostly from when they were in Tuckahoe. After they started moving around I bought less. I think I bought just as much from the antique store.
I know Tom's Trains is a good store because I've been in there a few times, but I'm not buying much nowadays and I never thought they had too much of a selection of old stuff, especially pre-war, but that's just my observations. I know many customers that like them, including friends of mine, for new stuff and they have a well deserved reputation.
