Still to this day, so sad that the original Caboose Hobbies closed.

There is a train museum and a model railroad museum in Denver.

Both are closed on Monday, and I was there on a Monday in June.

Yes. After Caboose closed there is really only one train-only hobby shop in town. They are Rocky Mountain Train supply AKA N Scale supply. They have been around quite a while but have diversified into other scales beyond N Scale.

Staff is super friendly and helpful. The only thing I thought was a bit wonky is that you walk through the shipping dept. to get to the "store front". 

Ended up buying a Rapido SW-1200 and a Athearn GP-7 while I was there.

Its a bit off the beaten path in a industrial type building but a GPS will get you there easy enough. 

Hope you like it.

Hey folks,

Are there any decent hobby shops in the Denver area these days? Heading down tomorrow for my wife to do some shopping, and I want to do some shopping too!
