About

The Train Station is a full time model railroad shop in Columbus, OH, which has been in business since 1974. We carry exclusively model railroad and train products and supplies.

Story

The Train Station carries full lines of many model railroad products and supplies in HO, N, O, O27, and G scales, as well as books, DVD videos, magazines, calendars, scenery products, paints, and brass models. We deal with several manufacturers and distributors to bring you the widest selection of model trains in the central Ohio area, including complete starter sets, locomotives, rolling stock, structures, scenic materials, figures, vehicles, tools, couplers, trucks, wheelsets, and other supplies. Our selection of books and magazines covers both model railroad and prototype railroad subjects.

We can also special order items we do not have in stock, usually with no additional shipping fees. We offer DCC decoder installation services for HO scale locomotives. The Train Station also purchases and sells used and previously owned HO scale models. While we do not offer a full repair service, we can help diagnose and troubleshoot basic problems you may have while running your model trains.
