So far great first time being in there was today bought some items looked at some items very helpful people. Dropped off a train engine to get repaired so well update after this repair... But thumbs up to them seem like great people πŸ‘.....OK been here couple times, still nice people but the guy that knows whats going on isnt there all the time, if you show up and he is not there your pretty much screwed. I dropped train engine off to be fixed, he did fix it, when picked up he was occupied doing something else so i waited quit a while, while the lady behind the counter could not help me. Nice people but needs more help, you have to call to see if he is there, not convenient for me, so wont be going back. He did fix my train and at a reasonable price and time.

A great local hobby shop with a ton of inventory for RC, train, parts, etc. Rob can perform repairs in-house, also is very friendly and knowledgeable. So glad I found this shop for all my RC needs.

The people running the place are great. The selection however leaves a lot to be desired. Their selection for RC is exclusive to Traxxas do if you are looking for another brand you will need to go elsewhere or wait for it to come in via a special order. The stairs leading to the main floor are quite steep and are easy to slip your footing by misjudging just how tall they are. Good selection of train stuff.

What fantastic service!Was desperately needing two particular colors of trim tape to complete an extensive large shrimp trawler model rebuild. A couple eBay sellers had one color but not the other and their shipping charges were ridiculous.Found these folks on line and although the web site was not cooperating, I phoned them and within minutes they had confirmed the availability of both colors I needed and easily handled the sale over the phone.Called just before closing on a Saturday and was promised my order would go in Mondays mail and on Wednesday, my tape arrived in Florida!

Went to this store for my first time. Was greeted by a friendly boxer, that made the trip worth it!!! Anyway I am setting up a train display in our store front for Christmas and the owner set me up with everything that I needed. He explained items that I needed, and did not try to up sell or push other items on to me. All around great trip and will be sure to stop back for future purchases.

Took my daughters model train in to be repaired and the man whose name I did not get fixed it right on the spot since it was minor while I waited. Exceptionally happy with the service provided there. This type of customer service is becoming a lost art. Drove all the way from Washington to Aliquippa for this to be fixed and I will definitely make the trip again should the need arise.

Such a gem. Walked in kind of skeptical. Much larger than it looks and has a decent bit of stuff. Best part was getting greeted by macy the pupper. Very warm welcome.

Ive been shopping in this store for years. If youre into trains, rc cars, plastic model kits, aftermarket parts for your vehicle. This is the place to go! Friendly service. Staff is very helpful.

My husband went to American Hobby Center to drop off a train that we needed repaired. Much to our surprise, the train was fixed, on the spot, and he was out of the shop in 10 minutes. It was a great experience and we would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!!!

1st time to this Hobby Store. Went with my Spouse & his Boss, who collects Trains. This place is huge, [ upstairs & downstairs.] Plan on spending an hour or more there, as they have R.C. cars, Trucks, Airplanes, Tanks, Trains, etc. If youre a serious hobbyist or a newbie, You wont be disappointed in their ample selections! I just wish they had Art supplies. Lol Great Place!! Friendly owners & staff too!

Great customer service. Will already do his best to take care of you. Running a one man show can be hard, but he seems to handle the task quite impressively. A small business run the way a small business should be, with morals and integrity.

If you are into hobbies or muscle items for hot cars and trucks, youll love this place. Lionel trains, remote control cars and trucks, h.o., airplanes and helicopters, plus great help locating what you need. In Aliquippa, one of a kind.
