About Strasburg
Train Shop

The Strasburg Train Shop traces its origins to the iconic Choo Choo Barn, nestled in the heart of Strasburg, Pennsylvania, a true haven for train enthusiasts. The journey began way back in 1961 when the need arose for specific items to construct the elaborate model train layouts within the Choo Choo Barn. At the time, there was a notable absence of a dedicated store that could cater to the unique requirements of model train hobbyists, so the decision was made to establish the Strasburg Train Shop.

Over the decades, our humble endeavor has blossomed into a comprehensive resource, offering a diverse range of parts and supplies that cater to the varied interests of train enthusiasts. From model railroading novices to seasoned experts, we have strived to be the go-to destination for all your model train needs.

Early on, it was a conscious choice to stay true to our unwavering commitment to model railroading. We resisted the temptation to diversify into other hobby interests like model airplanes, rockets, or RC cars, ensuring that our singular focus remains on the world of model trains.

Today, when you step into our store, you will witness the enduring dedication of our staff and team members as they carry forward the tradition of quality inventory, exemplary service, and unwavering assistance. We take immense pride in our heritage, and we’re committed to ensuring that your experience at the Strasburg Train Shop is nothing short of exceptional, just as it has been for decades.
