They have been there for years and the last time I visited them it reminded me of all the old time model train stores that my Dad and I used to frequent when I was a kid living in Queens. My Grandmother lived on the lower East side of Manhattan within easy walking distance of Polks, AHC, AC Gilbert's home office/showroom, ditto Lionel's, and Madison Hardware to name a few, in addition to Manhattan Trains, which I believe was run by Carmen Webster way back then. Admittedly, the entrance doesn't look particularly inviting - at least the last time I was there - but when you go down the stairs, it was like taking a step back in time - at least until the reality of today's prices jolts you back to reality and present day. It's a wonderful store.
