G & G Model Shop — Local services in Houston

G&G isn't a place that asks much, just that you stop by and check the N scale trains in the display case, or the armor models in the back of the shop, or the model planes hanging from the ceiling, don't forget the diorama in the front of the Vietnam war or the amazing Grumman Intruder diorama in the front of the store.

When I went inside, I talked to one of the workers/owners and told them what I was looking for. He explained to me about the different scales, railing, and the type of connectors the train engines and boxes have that you have to watch out for when merging older and new sets.
