Caboose Hobbies

Wow. Cool miniature models in showcases throughout the store. I'm amazed that this hobby of collecting trains of different scales is still a hobby. Really good service with older gentlemen and ladies with wonderful smiles. more

I always enjoy walking around in the store. They have just about everything you need for trains including a great parts department and you can't beat the sale after Christmas. more

Caboose my be considered my son's second home. From buying couplers and track to merely browsing the aisles, We spend a bit of time at this world renowned train store. The staff is world class in their knowledge and service. The only warning I have is to make sure your pockets are lined, trains and the supplies are no0t cheap! more

If you are a train buff this is the place for you, We found an old train set at an estate sale, and some of the pieces were a little beat up, so we decided to try and find similar items to spruce it up a little. Now don't get me wrong, but spending hundreds of dollars fixing up something that only cost us 200 seems wrong somehow if you know what I mean. By the time we bought a few engines, cars and cabooses we had easily spent over 500 dollars. I am not complaining, just had not realized how expensive this hobby was. It took a while to get someone to help us, but once they did we were glad for the exta tid-bits of information we were able to get while looking. Although expensive, I will probrably be back here at some point to find more add-ons more

Being an Arizonan, I resorted to Caboose Hobbies for my needs. I picked up all three new Athearn SD40T-2's in Rio Grande livery for just under 70 dollars each. They were in constant communication letting me know the status of my order. When shipped, they sent me the tracking number without being asked. I will continue to purchase out of state with Caboose Hobbies rather than give any business to one particular shop here in Arizona Pros: Online ordering, shipping costs are very reasonable and not over inflated more
