I purchased my refurb postwar ZW from him when I was just getting started and it has been rock solid. A very fair price and a solid 2 year guarantee. He was very helpful with a newbie when I was in the Pitt area in June 2023 with my adult daughters. He has a nice personal collection of train items and is also a Disney fan with some great items too. Definitely a place I would always stop in every time I might be in the area.
This is Neely's new location, over 6,000 square feet of trains. He's had a couple other shops around Altoona over the past few years. Second generation Lionel repair shop, lots of postwar Lionel. Always buying collections, you never know what you will find! This is my local hobby shop. He has an eBay store and many tables at TCA York as well.
Another nice ‘hop’ Chris, thanks for bringing us along. Nice to see at least a little bit of American Flyer. Getting more and more scarce in so many hobby shops. Otherwise it looks like quite a good selection of Lionel, MTH and Atlas. Thanks again!
Holy jeez Chris, was that a Lionel "Girl's Stove" I saw in this video? That is one RARE Lionel collectible! Too bad you didn't get some better shots. Anyway, a VERY enjoyable "Hobby Shop Hop!" Thanks for taking us along to the wilds of Altoona!
@@ChrissTrainsandThings Aw, that's all right, I couldn't have afforded it anyway! I showed that segment to the wife, she recognized it right away! Thanks for the feedback!
@@ChrissTrainsandThings There's an old rule I learned when shooting movies, 8mm and 16mm: "If you think you're panning slowly, do it even MORE slowly." Worked for me.
Live here in altoona Pa. Neelys is the best.

Always stopped in Neely's when I was in the Altoona area. Just wish they were closer for me. Always got great deals on S gauge items.

Very well stocked shop and one that would be fun to visit for sure. Thanks for sharing the journey with us. Bill B.
That's what you call Cream & Green cookware and things my mom had a cream & Green cook stove and pots and pans
Nice man your in my neck of the woods! He relocated to this shop like a year ago. His inventory changes every time I’m there one of my favorites!

Big selection. I thought you were York Show.😅
That was a really nice shop. Atlas rolling stock is the best. My eyes racked at least $1000 tab during this video.
At 7:50 the Lionel press, never saw that before. Great shop!
Wow. Don't see Pecos River stuff much anymore.....

Busy guy.....you ought to come to NJ.... there's a model train shop in Mountain Lakes..... I'll meet you for lunch...
I've been there several times myself, "The Train Station!" I just love the "Grandpa's basement" ambiance of the place! Lots of good stuff in there!
I like your hobby shop hop. It would be a little better if you could move the camera a little slow
Interesting but camera work is a bit too fast.........
Slow down youre making us dizzy
Camera motion is too fast. Unable to watch.
I love you hobby shop hop videos but this one got me dizzy with all the fast moving and spining.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to do better in future episodes!

Chris, I had to stop watching. Not because I didn’t like the content, but you move the camera so fast I can’t watch. It makes me dizzy!
