Milepost Hobbies

I drove 50 minutes to this place and was NOT disappointed… As all the train stores have closed near me I was forced to travel to this one. And lets just say I WILL be coming back…Very nice place. Lots of scales for sale. Store has cheap products but good quality products. Owner was very nice and willing to help, I asked a question and he was able to provide me with all the info I would need. Very good place for trains and some other hobbies as well. If you live within a hour of this place it is definitely worth the drive. I would give 20 stars if I could. I recommend this store to all.

For many years, I had traveled to Matt's to buy trains and accessories. We always enjoyed the visit and got some great items. My old friend, Gerry Humphrey. would go with me. When Matt saw Gerry' he would run and get a big box for Gerry to fill with trains. Sadly ' Gerry passed away during covid but he loved going to see Matt.
I started to go with the Reed boys and we always came home with great treasures. I now live in NC and have yet to see another train store that even comes close to Milepost Hobbies. I would still go if not for the 1800 mile roundtrip.

Most honest hobby retailer in the capital district your going to find. Great selection of products. Lenny welter and Glen Salamone were the last ones before!

Been a customer since day one (nearly); great range of products, great staff and all around a great experience. It's especially great for those who model local roads like NYC, as a lot of the quality pre-owned models come from people in the area who model the Central, not to mention the great selection of equipment from other roads. One of the best model railroad shops in Upstate New York.

I was gifted a train set that was lacking some components for proper functionality, I called and explained the situation and was told he had the parts on hand, he was exceptionally knowledgeable and willing to help. The store had awesome stock whether your looking for new or gently used they can help. If your a newbie I would visit this shop just to get an insight into the possibilities before you get started.
Thanks Matt I appreciated the help.

A large variety of train and model landscape supplies. Owner is knowledgeable and prices are decent. Will be back.

Extremely knowledgeable and so willing to help. Beautiful store. It is amazing how much they fit in it.
Nice horses and beautiful trains. Unusual book collection.
Large selection of railroad pins, new and vintage engines and cars.
Outside the store they had a special surprise for train enthusiasts. If you want to know what it is you
have to go see for yourself.

For a small store they have a nice selection. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are what you would expect from a small hobby shop. Signage could be better, but easy to find if you look for the scrap locomotive on the building's side.

The store stocks a lot for the model railroad hobbyist. If the owner (Matt) doesn't have it in the store, he will go out of his way to order it and get it asap. Matt is knowledgeable about the hobby and always willing to answer customers questions.

This train shop was a very good experience. I did not make a large purchase,but Mathew the owner made sure all the used trains I purchased matched up as they should.Mathew spent a good amount of time from his busy day to change the couplers for me which he did not have to do.This is an excellent train shop with excellent service.A great place to shop.

Matt is extremely knowledgeable and I have gotten some great deals on used HO locomotives. Matt also stands 100% behind his products and if there is an issue, he resolves it.

Went today to add to a train set I started for my kids. They have everything. Responsibly priced and knowledgeable. Will be returning.

Matt is a pleasure to deal with: he knows his stuff, very reasonable, & great customer service. I drive 2 hours just to do my business here.

My wife son & I were very pleased with the store. We were very happy with the service that received. We will be coming back to make more purchases in the future. The Lewis family.
