  1. I sure hope the new owner will stand behind customer service. The last owner refused to compensate me for a book I ordered and received through the mail that arrived damaged due to improper packing in their shipping department. I was even placed on the Caboose Hobbies black list despite the fact my written complaint was respectful albeit to the point. This is NOT the proper way to run a model railroad hobby shop!

  2. Great news! The brick and mortar hobby shops are quickly disappearing. Also it’s great to see younger modelers getting in the hobby. From this “silver backs” point of view.

  3. This is great news. Though I live in Pennsylvania, Caboose Hobbies has been my go-to shop for hard to find detail parts.
