Roundhouse Electric Trains on the East side of Louisville is a good shop.

Johnny's Toys closed several years ago but the guy who ran the train department opened his own store, Tim's Trains and Hobbies, less than a mile away.  The shop is mostly HO but has some O gauge stuff and is a good source for paint, glue, plastic, scenery stuff, etc.

Welcome to the area.

 

I echo Bob comments on Tim's a pretty good shop and they have been very nice when I went there.

Entertrainment Junction near Westchester (Up 75) has a nice hobby shop(and a great indoor layout to visit), mostly G and HO but some good scenery stuff.

HobbytownUSA in Mason has a good supply of scenery items, and some O scale, but mostly HO and N.  Good supply of paints and scratch building supplies.

Davis Trains in its hay day was the best store in the Midwest. I loved it and was there every week.Joe Davis had a hell of a collection as well. I always the O gauge layout on Thanksgiving weekend when he had the open house. The store was huge with a 4 man repair group, Jim Barrett was one of them..When Joe died his son cleaned up, closed the store and sold everything. I also loved going to Johnny's Toys, nice train selection. I miss Cincinnati..

Roundhouse Electric Trains is a fantastic stop on the east side of Louisville. They have used inventory for all scales, including O scale from prewar to Legacy/PS3. They have various scenery and railroadiana items available as well. They always had at least a couple dozen Legacy locomotives in shop. 

 

Hobby Station is another stop in Elizabethtown, KY. They have a ton of Atlas O rolling stock available, in addition to other general hobby shop fare.
