Blue Ridge Hobbies is the onlt 'real' model train hobby store in my area. Everytime I visit Greenville, I make a point to stop and give the shelves a once or twice over. Special orders were quick and prices are reasonable. I remember their previous store across the street from where they are now. What an improvement with the larger space.
Highly recommended to visit.
I do my best to support my LHS K-10 Model Trains in Maryville IL.

I have also bought from them from the internet site. They are great to do business with. Quick service and great prices.
I, like many other modelers, usually look for the best price when buying models and supplies. But I am always conflicted, desiring to support local hobby shops as well. Recently, while in Greenville, SC, I visited Blue Ridge Hobbies, and picked up a few items, very reasonably priced. While there, I noticed an Atlas HH600 in Jersey Central livery. Last weekend, I returned (visiting one of my sons) and asked to see the engine run. One of the owners obliged, stopping what he was doing, to operate the engine on their well-detailed layout. He was very patient in answering my questions about the engine and about another engine I have been having issues with. He was very knowledgable. Best of all, the price was excellent, far below the suggested retail price. So, I want to commend this hobby shop and its workers--polite, accomodating, and helpful. The shop is in a good location, is clean, and well-stocked. Overall, a great experience! By the way, the HH600 is sweet! The only issue is those blasted chains! What a task to apply them! I am half-done with them and decided to take a break!
