Tommy Gilbert's Hobby Shop — Local services in Gettysburg

Been coming here for a little while now, after recently moving to the area. So far I've been very impressed with the service, as well as how knowledgeable the owner, Tommy, and the other guys that work there are when it comes to all things model trains. If you have a question, they'll most likely know the answer lol

As far as the store goes, its got a nice, albeit a bit cramped, atmosphere. Though this is coming from a 6' 4" tall, thicker built guy, so thats not surprising lol But its a very well lit, well stocked, store, with a LOT of model railroading stuff to choose from.

I do wish there was a bit more N scale stuff in stock, but its still a pretty decent selection, and I always manage to find quite a bit of stuff any time I come here. For HO scale though, theres more stuff in stock than you can imagine! Rows and rows of HO scale stuff, both old and new, used or unused, and everything in between, so you're bound to find something that'll work for you! And they even have a pretty healthy selection of O gauge stuff as well!

Would highly recommend this place to others looking to get into model railroading, or to those who have been in the hobby...

Enjoy traveling to Tommy Gilbert's in Gettysburg, PA all the way from Waldorf and Edgewater, Maryland. Tommy has one of the most enjoyable hobby shops since Aunt Pitty Pat left Atlanta. Fully stocked with everything a model railroaded needs, including scratch building supplies, paints and tools. Has everything for other type modelers as well. The place is full of history, charm, and good people. Looking forward to my next visit. Not only is one most likely to find and leave with what their looking for, they're most likely to leave with a smile as well. I can't praise this fine...

Tommy is a very nice guy, very accommodating, will order it for you if he doesn't have it. It's the ultimate train store, which also has raw materials, special tools, adhesives, and paints for any hobbyist of similar category, like model building, war gaming, etc... There's a modest selection plastic models of cars, trucks, ships, military vehicles, etc... Knives, files, fine modeling instruments, thin sheet styrene copper, brass, balsa wood, one may scratch-build to his/her heart's content. One will pay a premium for whatever one needed. Fine place, even some...
