This is by far the last classic toy train store in the Chicago area amazing selection of both preowned and new in box Thomas wooden railway/Chuggington/Brio items in occasionally even the Whittle Shortline Railroad! Prices are decent and they also have a great selection of Lionel and Lego. Highly recommend stopping by Tony the owner has a wealth of knowledge on Thomas wooden railway and Whittle Shortline. I always look forward to seeing new things in the store.
