Red Caboose
Neighborhood: West 40s
Type of Place: Hobbies
Description:
Enter a narrow hallway and down a
flight of stairs and you'll find Red Caboose, a remnant of an era when model trains were the rage, not Sponge Bob.
The shop's owner, Allan Spitz, offers a wealth of information to anyone willing to listen, from the hottest new trains from Germany, with tracks that he says are virtually kid-proof, to the old Lionel sets of a time gone by.
The store is crammed with thousands of model trains and accesories in all shapes and sizes, and prices ranging from just over a hundred dollars for a starter set to more than a thousand. You'll also find airplanes and model cars.
A great place for the true train enthusiast or the novice looking to get started - Shopper Sam
