Tom's Trains Toys & Antiques (Buford, GA)

I hit up the 38th Model Train Show in Norcross, GA, and then was headed to my regular hobby shop (Trainmaster Models in Buford, GA) and ran across this AWESOME store. This guy has anything and everything that is O scale, O guage, Standard guage, S guage that is the cream of the crop. I have never seen such a cool collection and wide variety of stuff - it reminded me of a small scale Ward Kimbal collection, with newer stuff peppered in. He had everything from an old cast engine from 1911 (that still works!) all the way up to lots of cool MTH stuff. Sorry I was panning the camera around too quickly, I was just like a kid in a candy store! This is a killer store if you ever get the chance to stop by!

I guess his new store is smaller. I used to love to go in & see his GIANT miniature town and rail yard when I was a little girl.  It did take up over half the store. It was amazing. Really cool of you to post a video on this great Buford Georgia store/landmark.

@jodythewhoamann - Yeah, I spoke to him about the whole thing and he said that it is still in the same building, he just opened this up a few doors down is all. I saw the photos of the old place and it definitely was a lot bigger. Oh well, talk about a great bang for the buck on space!

@baseba45 - It is an awesome place to say the least, and I love that part of Georgia - it still has the small town feel that I grew up in while in Nashville.

@maxstrains - Definitely go check it out! Not often you see that much rare stuff in such a small space that you can actually touch!
