- It's about time that I finally do a video of my local hobby shop that I constantly talk about. This is one the best train store's in the GTA area. With plenty of stock and great prices, George's Trains is an awesome 1 stop shop for all your railroading needs. There will be a 60th anniversary party on June 4th 2022. The store opens at 9 am and will host a bbq between 11AM to 2:30PM. Go check out the website for more info.

This is where I purchased my first model train set, Pretty great hobby shop! Great memories there!
Wow remember riding my bike to mtpleasnt
I remember going to George’s trains in around 2015 and that CSX unit was in fact there
Nice! I saw some really nice model Trains in your video! I wish I could figure out where I put all my HO scale Train track...
I see your thinking of getting back into the hobby….
Looks like an awesome hobby shop. Do they have operatingg layouts in the store? So cool you can see the CN mainline going by there!
yup they have a small operational layout
Excellent. Great Store. They have closed or downgraded almost every train place in this state, including Mizel Trains and Caboose Hobbies. It is nice to see a well stocked shop again. Hello from the Tracy Mountain Railway in Colorado. 💙 T.E.N.
Stores always got inventory. That's for sure!
This was the 'genesis' of model train stores when it was located on Mt. Pleasant Rd. in Toronto in the 60s and 70s. Back-in-the-day the merchandise was affordable and catered to late-boomer kids who had their father's help in putting together the train layouts. George's Trains was the first model train store in Toronto to feature the N-Gauge product in all its initial useless glory. The store had a plethora of Triang merchandise which was featured in huge displays at the Simpsons and Eatons stores at Christmas on Yonge St. before the Eaton Centre was built. George's Trains was hallowed-ground, and I still have a Lionel switcher locomotive my Dad purchased there in 1970.
Agreed. Back when I was a young boy in the early 2012's, I have memories of my parents heading down there to get this vintage ho scale TTC pcc streetcar. Still runs like a charm.
Great video!
Next time go across the street to Rapido HQ!!!
100 thanks for the tour.im glad im allowed into canada again due to covid
Thank you!
Good job I’m happy to be the 100 subscriber
Ah you were up in my neck of the woods I see
yup
Muzac is toooo loud!
Yeah Ik. I should have tuned it down 😞
The UP SD90 is mine, it's up for consignment sale at Georges. DCC , Sound and LED !
It's a small world haha. Didn't know that you go to the store too.
The store used to sell good stuff in my price range. Now its abit over price and one kit i got was missing a few parts.
I might give the store another chance though
Yeah a few of the items are listed a bit too high but you could always order replacement parts I guess…
Ey June 4th is my birthday, sadly I can’t go but I will probably be going the week after with a bunch of buddies of mine to go railfanning and maybe go shopping too.
That’s unfortunate. Even thought you can’t make it, I hope you have a great day of railfanning 🤙
@@ontariorail1251 yea, well I mean, at least I get to have a good time on my birthday, there’s a train show up in Burlington on that day if your interested.
@@waterloocentral9production475 like Burlington Ontario? Near Hamilton? Never heard of one there..
@@ontariorail1251 yea, the Burlington model railway club in aldershot Burlington Ontario is having a train show in hidden valley park, they’ll be running all of their layout such as G, Ho, and n scale layouts. They’ll be having their sales table too which will be selling some model trains.
Where those trains for sale
Waaaaaaay too expensive. I'll stick with Otter Valley.
Yeah ahahahah. Some of the items are over priced compared to other retailers such as ovr as you mentioned and thescuderia45.
I think George's prices are comparable to Credit Valley Railway or the MSRP. Yeah, I like Otter Valley's pricing too and It reminded me Hutch's Trains/Trains on Brant in Burlington, ON before they closed shop. One thing about George's and CVRCo. is they carry a lot of stuff and probably can get what you need from their many suppliers.
