Trainworld turns 50!

WOW 50 YEARS! Congrats Guys.

I can say that I have been a life long customer. My Dad started taking me to the Lynbrook store when it opened. Born and raised in Baldwin NY.

Keep up the good work!

"50 YEARS" a milestone. Congratulations..........................Paul

Although I’ve met Ken at York; I’ve never actually visited either location despite having been a customer for years now.

Congratulations to the Bianco family on reaching your 50th anniversary !  👍

HAPPY 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY !!! Great video.

Congratulations - wish i could visit one of your stores, next time in NJ area I will come on over - great service, great communications - have been loyal customer for a few years - best of luck in the future

Thanks so much! You beat me to the punch on posting the video!  Appreciate all the kind words. Most of all, we appreciate everyone who has supported us throughout the years!

GREAT VIDEO, GREAT STORE AND GREAT FOLKS! CONGRATULATIONS! MAY YOU HAVE 50 MORE!

I have been a Trainworld customer for a long time, purchasing trains in several scales/gauges. Have never had an opportunity--yet--to vist the stores, but I also consider Ken Jr. a special friend who I look forward to seeing at every York Meet. Congrats and kudos to all associated with Trainworld and Trainland. I won't be around for 50 more, but I sure hope you folks will be.

Congrats!!!!

Congrats TrainWorld! I'll watch this when I get home tonight.

CONGRATS!

Congrats as it's my 50th  next month too!

Great video Kenny, awesome tribute. I know I have never made it to the stores, I sort of wonder if my Uncle Richard ever had the pleasure of meeting your Grandfather(not sure if he would remember). Congrats, see you all at York or maybe the next show I'm at.

Great video Kenny. I am 55 ads will celebrate 50 years in the hobby this fall.  I was in the Lynbrook store right after you took it over from the House of Mulraney. My firat purchase was a turbo missile car and a target car, they were on the back counter, I remember it like yesterday. Over the years I have bought Lionel, Williams, LGB and Piko G from you, at both stores and via mail order. I have just come back to the Island to visit relatives and will drop by this week. Thanks for being a part of my life these last 50 years. Miketg

A top shelf company run by some top shelf people.  Best of luck.

The last time that I rode the "F" train, it cost me $500.00. I got off at the Ditmas Ave stop and the store entrance is a couple of doors south of the station steps. WAY too convenient! Of course then I had to carry a large MTH box back on the train!

Congrats to TrainWorld! A true milestone in retailing these days. 

I have purchased many items from them over the years and never a problem. I imagine that level of service is why they made it to today.

Congratulations. Always a pleasure to to talk to Ken Jr. at York or the Big E. The interview they did with Mike Wolf in China showing how our trains are built was amazing. Keep up the good work.

I must say, that all the questions that they(Ken Sr. & Ken Jr.)ask of of manufacturers, those are the questions that we need answers too. I really enjoy all the videos I have watched that they have up, and the time it takes to so all that. The idea to live stream and take questions from watching customers and ask them(whomever they were at or talking to) is a great thing, because sometimes the consumers don't think our questions are getting addressed by any other means. Keep up the great work.

Hats off to the whole Bianco family  - Ken, Ken Jr. Anthony Sr & Anthony Jr., Diane. and Frank.

  Many businesses fail when they hit the third generation, because they get complacent.  Ken Jr. & Anthony Jr. could be making more money in the business world as employees, but they choose to be at the stores bringing new ideas, innovation and energy to the business their Grandfather started.  My local store - I've purchased from all three generations and happy to say so.  

Nothing but a positive experience from the items I purchased online. Congrats!

Congratulations!! Ken Jr is continuing the tradition and doing an outstanding job.

Never been to a store (Way too far away.) but the mail (interwebs) order has gotten my monies.  And their customer service it 2nd to none.  If they have what I want when I need it I don't hesitate to place an order.

I'm 76 years old and I rode my bike to Trainland in Lynnbrook  from Bellerose in the 1950's

Congratulations to the Biancos! I bought many a train from your store via mail. Great service and prices.

I have had the pleasure to purchase some rolling stock over the years from Trainworld at the York Show and their customer service has been great thanks to the great job that the Blanco family has done.Happy 50th Anniversary.

Congratulations!  I'm a long time mail order then internet customer.  Always the  best service.  Looking forward to decades more!

TrainWorld is run by really good people and is an excellent company to do business with.  I remember when they first started. IIRC,  Peter Bianco, the founder had his first small train store in Brooklyn and was always a visible force in the hobby.   TrainWorld was a fixture at the train shows back then as they are now. I wish the second (or it it the third generation) of family ownership the very best on their 50th anniversary. The company has contributed much to the hobby.
