Hello all, The owner of Todd's Train Depot (Wendell NC) passed away about a month ago. I called the shop on June 20th and found out that they are no longer in business. The person who answered the phone (I'm assuming that it was a relative in the family) stated that they will be no going out of business sales at all. This person referred me to a shop in Raleigh NC if I wanted to continue to purchase trains in that area. If anyone wants to find out more information can call: 919-365-5006. It seems like the only full-line store in North Carolina now is the Train Loft in Winston-Salem NC.

 

I didn't forget about Little Choo Choo in Spencer NC. They don't carry as much 3-rail stock as the Train Loft carries..............RogerW.

It is not a new shop.  Haven't been there in several years so I don't know the state of the inventory.  Take a look at the web site.  It has photos of the shop and hours of operation.

Hey Rob, It was good to see you at the Charlotte show! I've never heard of Nick's Trains. And you are right, the website is 3 years old and has not been updated. If all he has is what's listed on the website, I wouldn't want to go there to purchase anything. My layout is all modern and current product......Rogerw. 

I have been to Nick's and bought some scenery items there. They have some of all different gauges there.

 

i will miss Edna and the folks at Todd's Train Depot. It was always fun to go there on Saturdays when I was in North Carolina. Same with Tom's Train Station; two great train shops now no longer there.

Nick's Trains is a very nice shop.  Over the past year or so he has doubled the space and gotten a lot more stuff out.  He carries a full line of supplies ( all scales)  and a lot of used equipment.  Lots of oddball things.  Special orders go out every week to the appropriate suppliers and usually show up that same week.

 

The address is 5201 Oak Park Road, Raleigh.  Oak Park Road is next to the Dos Taquitos Restaurant on Glenwood Avenue and Nick's is about 50 yards behind.  The phone number is 919-881-1010.  The hours are 10 till 6  Monday thru Saturday.
