Great place i rode right past it. I was working on the rail gang in 2009, in the van rode right by it. Retired feb 21 39 years, trackman.
I love walking into model train stores
you'll never know what could catch your eyes the most
The worst part is that the feeling makes you want to buy something lol
I wanted to buy some trains but I first need to plan benchwork and trackplanning before i go to a train store and buy stuff
Thats where I get all my pre-orders now. Can beat their pre-order price, low cost shipping, and bc I'm out of state no sales tax.
I have a heap of A scale USATrains, and I got 99% from Charles Ro. Excellent products. Excellent customer service when I had a power supply problem. A good group.
Totally agree!! Great store all around 😀 -RTT
I've bought a lot from Charles Ro.
Good prices and ships it well. I always remind them to pack it good. Just in case.
I
Man that store is fantastic, definitely one of those places I could not take my kid with as either I would spend way too much money or I would have to be the "bad guy" and say "no" a lot of times.
Hahaha best comment yet!! Thanks for viewing!! -RTT
Good to know that Lionel is still kick'n. There's a cool Mc Donald's next to Knott's Berry Farm that has a nice, working train layout on the ceiling! It has a glass case also in the middle with tables around it where you can see another working display. It's really unique. They are larger than "0"scale.
That’s a ‘blizzard’ ? I have more frost in my freezer than what I see on the ground there! Go watch some videos of the Blizzard of 77 in Buffalo, NY. I experience that and never want to see that again. 👽
You got me…
Graduated in 77 that and winter of 78 were brutal in pa.
I'm in Oklahoma. I thought I was seeing snow-pocalypse!!! 🤣🤣 Just joking btw
@@AdventureswithGeneral it’s all about making it dramatic haha! 👍🏼
Thanks for showing the isle with American Flyer. They should have had some models out of the boxes on display. I have been buying from them for many years. There are 3 more manufacturers of S gauge: American MODELS, S-HELPER SERVICE, MTH. Some of these are being bought out and others are looking for investors.
I have to tell this story about Charles Ro, back in 1996, i seen some box sets in a ad in classic toy trains, i ordered them and i went out to work on rail gang sunday came back home early friday, the trains were waiting on me when i got home.
A wonderful playground !
For sure!! Thanks for tuning in!! -RTT
They have the best display cabinets. Must have cost a fortune. Thanks for the tour.
They are nice!! Thanks for watching!! -RTT
Love this guy and his accent. I remember going here when I was younger with my dad. I got a locomotive and a caboose. Still have them to this day.
A great big thank you!! Our Bostonian accent can be a love it or hate it. Glad you love it, I do to!! Glad you still have the locomotive and caboose. Thank you for tuning in!! -RTT
That's my store.....it's been a while. Thanks for the tour.
Finally after 30 years of waiting. This summer we move into a new home with a basement for my Lionel trains.
My grandson loves trains at 5 years old. Maybe our son will allow us to setup his Original Lionel G scale Thomas the Train too.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for tuning in!! We have a video of Percy, and James on the channel, check them out! Thanks!! -RTT
That was a awesome tour thanks for taking the time, ya did a great job!
Rock - In - Roll = Wow 👍
• Cheers from the Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Thanks for viewing!! -RTT
Thanks for sharing this... such a cool store.
All I can say is WOW, any train fan thought he died and went to heaven 👍👍
Model trail, modelbau, Modelleisenbahn, Modelbaan, plastico ferrovario, ferromodelismo store!
That place is my childhood. I've been going there for as long as I've been into trains, and it's where I got my Lionel O-Gauge Polar Express set many Christmases ago, which is one of my absolute most prized possessions. It's been a long time since I've been into Charles Ro: hopefully now that Spring Break is starting, I'll get a chance to go back soon. :D
Awesome video buddy!!! That is fantastic that store!
Your a great person and a great RUclipsr
also a great train guy loved this video ❤🎉
Thanks so much!! Comments like yours keep this channel going!!

They have plenty of G that’s for sure!! Thanks for tuning in!!
Dreams DO come true 👍
Robert, yes, yes they do.. thanks for tuning in. -RTT
Good video! Was waiting for the tour of all the Ho Scale stuff
Believe it or not there was a 15 minute time limit in the store…. Had to get the O scale stuff. Thanks for watching!! -RTT
15 minute time limit in the store that's torture glad I know that now I was about to drive all the way from Wisconsin I'll have to think twice about it now 🤔
Going back to Lionel :) Glad Charles Ro is not far from South Coast Massachusetts
I’m from South Coast Massachusetts!! Freetown to be precise. Thanks for watching! -RTT
I miss their holiday mailers. I need to get back on their list.
I see they have PIKO which means they have a selection of european trains!
I used to order from them in the pre-Internet days, and also from Standard Hobby Supply, they were my go to places.
[thank, you for you're great video👍 wow, I wish that hobby shop was closer to my rural state because I would honestly spend $thousands right their.]🙏👍
Holly cow. That store is trains Cathedral.....
Amazing video!! Wow
Thanks so much for tuning in!!
-RTT
"Thanks for filming and posting. Enjoyed watching." -Tom
I miss this place, my father used to take me here as a kid, now that I've moved I've not even seen a model train shop here in NC.
NOTHING in NC?! Have you done a Google search? Thanks for tuning in! -RTT
@@realtoytrains I didn't say there were none lol, just that I hadn't personally seen any. I do know where there is one but the drive is so inconvenient it's not even worth it.
Heading there tomorrow! It’s been nearly a year since this video was posted. Should make the trip again. Lol. A 90 min ride for me but excited. First time there
Dude!! That’s awesome!! Don’t spend all your money haha!
@@realtoytrains just about. 😂 picked up a Lionel Legacy es44ac US Armed forces #1775. They tested it and everything right there for me. Was a great first experience
@@railtietate3182 dude that’s awesome!! Do a video on it!!
@@realtoytrains def will. Only can control via BT right now so can’t see all the features but will still see all the detail. 2nd legacy engine. Woot woot lol
Great video Ive been going to Charles and Ro since I was a kid with my dad. You're so close to 1000 subs!
Thanks for watching Tom!! Yea I'm hoping we get there soon. Now we have to focus on watch hrs!! But were having lots of fun growing the channel!! -RTT
@@realtoytrains Hey look at that your on your way to 10,000 subs now! I can see your channel exploding soon! Your videos are giving me motivation to get back into model railroading more!
Cool Train store.👌♐
Thanks so much!! Feel free to share. -RTT
@@realtoytrains ♐👌
Wow! This is heaven!
In Europe, it is rare to get American model railroads in stores in Europe, but they can be obtained online, but sometimes it is also cumbersome. Of course, there are plenty of European railway models in the shops. But I really like American trains.
What is the biggest difference between American and European models?
@@Mike__B The track is as wide as in America.The biggest difference is in the look of railroad cars and locomotives. It's hard to describe, to see. In this video you can see European railway models, including many Hungarian wagons.
ruclips.net/video/5Oh2XinDsEg/видео.html
@@javorszkiandras1280 Well one thing that sticks out to me is the electric locomotives as they are practically non-existent in the US, as the US decided diesel was the way for modern vehicles. Also the US really doesn't have much in the way of passenger rail outside of local commuter trains, and any they do have most are going to be double decker, the Euro passenger cars had kind of an older feel to me back when the US was big with rail.
@@Mike__B In Europe, diesel locomotives and electric locomotives are still running at the same time, but diesel locomotives are slowly running only on sidings and in industrial areas. Here, electric locomotives are increasingly the fast delivery. It is very fashionable to travel between major European cities by passenger train, sometimes I also choose not the plane.
@@javorszkiandras1280 Yeah, that's one thing I'm definitely jealous of. I could hop on a train and go from San Francisco to Los Angeles taking half a day, and I'm still no where near where I want to be in Los Angeles. Or I could drive a car, take 7 hours including stops, and be exactly where I want plus having more people in the car won't cost extra.
My Aunt Rose and Uncle AL lived in Hudson Mass.
[THIS, HOBBY SHOP IS GOT TO HAVE A MAIL ORDER FLYER]👍
Fantastic video
Thanks for watching!!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for tuning in 👍🏼 -RTT
I'd love to see the American Flyer aisle when you go there next time
Noted!!
We just got something American Flyer I’ll have a video up of it soon!
Fab place to visit
You got that right!! Thanks for watching. -RTT
Just found your channel, that’s cool store! Never new that! I’ll be checking out your other vids too. (Ps “anytime” I go to a hobby store, end of losing track of time…like a kid in a candy store! Haha)
Thanks for tuning in! Much more content coming down the pipeline. -RTT
Beautiful thanks!
Thanks for tuning in Pop! -RTT
Great video !
THANKS!!
Hay look is the green caterpillar 3:55
Wow that was awesome looks like Disneyland for me, Thank you. By the way nice truck
Thanks Edgar! I may do a video on my cars too! Waiting for the spring to get them out. Thanks for tuning in!! -RTT
Great video...Charles Ro is my Lionel dealer...their service is excellent...would like to have met some of the staff in your video....
Thanks so much for watching. They are great. We’ll be going back soon.. -RTT
i personally would love to see a return of the wooden trains that use to be so common so i can build up my own wooden railway collection
Those wood trains are very cool!
@@realtoytrains yea i didn't have a lot when i was younger but now im building my collection
Its only the largest because the original caboose hobbies in Denver closed . I do love wasting a lunch break here though
[that, newyork blue and yellow f-7 set for $809.00 i, would love to buy that set]👍
I've always wanted to go up there and look around but I dont know if its just scales bigger then HO
They have a huge selection of HO. There was a 15 minute store limit that I stretched to 20…. Better than when they were curbside pickup! Thanks for watching. -RTT
General industry complaint. Although I know I'm complaining about something that isn't going to change.
I HATE it when a store displays stuff at floor level. Knee high or higher should be the minimum.
I'm an old guy with not-so-good knees. Looking at stuff that requires that I crawl around on the floor to find it usually means I give it a pass.
Charles Ro is a great train store. Way too much to choose from.
It is a great store!! I had great customer service, and I had to keep my wallet under control!! Thanks for viewing. -RTT
Amazing...
Where can I get information for a new catalog? T hanks!
Lionel.com
Nice man. Great content
Thanks for tuning in Keith! -RTT
The store is not a train store. It is a toy store.
What an awesome store. Just subbed your channel.
Thanks so much for tuning in!! -RTT
Okay, the best Lionel store.
What's the biggest "N" scale store?
W
I just subscribed I’ve always wanted to start a O scale layout, just don’t have the funds available! Great video, thank you!
Jay, there are deals to be had on quality used equipment!! Good luck, and hopefully you do start one!! Thanks for watching. -RTT
Recently picked up a NYC S-2 from Charles Ro about a month ago. Brand new from Lionel it would cost $500. I got it from Charles Ro for $350. Not a scratch in her.
nice store :)
Place is dangerous for my wallet!! -RTT
Love that place, subscribed!
I lived in Melrose. And never got to go
Never too late!
Just got my permit i know where im driving 3 hours to and back from
Place is awesome!!
Would also suggest train world and train land in New York
Noted!! Thanks for watching!! -RTT
I'd love to visit. It looks like the opposite (in terms of browseability) of their web site.
I need an n scale Bachmann Spectrum Great Northern 65' diner car. I can't find it on the internet, even from Bachmann.
I haven't been there for years. Appreciate the tour. I'm surprised they enforce a time limit on a quiet day (I distinctly remember busy it used to get). Do they still have an HO section?
BTW, they own USA Trains.
It appears to me Mark, they do not. Too bad, not everyone strictly owns O Scale. I do not have the room for O. The video is misleading .
@@AFONLY01 I watched again and saw some smaller trains where the HO stuff always used to be, so yeah I'd say they still have them. The tour doesn't go into that area.
I hear you on layout space mostly. My Lionel Christmas layout sets up on a 30" x 5' folding table using 027 curves. 15" radius HO doesn't fit.
Yes they have a good selection of all scales. I wanted to keep the video to mostly O Scale this go round. I’ll have to explore more on the next trip. Thanks for tuning in. -RTT
Going in there with less than 1 million would be too painful :)
just there a week ago!
Awesome place, and the staff is great! Thanks for tuning in. -RTT
you could have shown that G Big Boy....
Do they carry ho train stuff
Absolutely!! Check out their website. Thanks for tuning in! -RTT
I hate that they say "largest train store" it's not by far as I've been to several larger that were built long before the new building. Hell 75% of that bulding is mostly warehouse. Even MBK has a larger retail floor footprint.
Went a few times about 10yrs ago as it was down the road and haven't been back since, especially after seeing their prices.
We have a coffee shop in town their slogan in “best coffee in town” is it the best coffee in town? NOPE! am I upset about it? NOPE!
PS I love coffee
Ah yes USA trains any good deals
Tons of good deals! Thanks for watching! -RTT
Wish some of the stuff you zoom in on tell us the prices of some stuff
Noted! Thanks for watching.
@Real Toy Trains welcm really enjoy your videos though
Do they sell engines from other countries? or its only US stuff?
That’s a good question!! I saw mostly US stuff, but check out their website. (Link in the description). Thanks for watching!! -RTT
I TOO WIN SOME TRAIN STUFF
Well I watched up until it was LG and O's scale I'm into N scale
Is there any interest in British outline model trains in the US?
I'm not sure what you mean by outline. But importing OO gauge stuff, especially the steam engines are rather popular here just not as popular as the larger gauges. I myself own a OO gauge layout with several models shipped from the UK.
YA know I have the lionel prr s-2
Märklin is the Best😀
It is really cool!!!
Thanks for the video but the place looks like a ghost town. Aside from you, were there any other customers in that store?
The video is filmed during a snowstorm.
Is it just O Scale only? If so , then it should be advertised as so. From what I see, it's O and G Scale only. What a misleading video.
Edward thanks for tuning in! They carry all scales as you will see if you click on the link to their website provided in the description.
Please be advised we were only allowed 15 minutes in the store due to Covid regulations.
Again thank you for viewing, and have a lovely day. -RTT
They had a smaller store in Malden before this. They used to be good. Like in the 80s. Crap service. Attitude galore.
We didn’t have that experience at all, but thanks for tuning in! -RTT
I stopped going there once Charlie came out with a Trump-themed boxcar with the orange one's portrait on it. No need for politicking on toy trains.
They’ve all done it. But you’re right keep politics OUT OF IT!
So your a miserable liberal
My first or second train set came from his hair dressing shop on Broadway in Glendale sq. Everett!
Wow thanks for sharing that with us!!
6:36 It's still there because no one will buy it. lmao
Seriously a Yankees train in the middle of Boston?! hahaha! Thanks for watching.
-RTT
Baastin.........
It’s Baaahhhhstin lol!!
Massive store , but are people actually buying model trains anymore ? It seems to be a dying hobby .
It’s made a huge comeback since the early 90’s especially now that everything is controlled via command control/Bluetooth
A Large Store, but all I see are mainstream commercial ranges aimed at the "average modeller". No specialist ranges aimed at the more professionally minded and knowledgeable experts. I didn't even see Kadee !!! And nothing but US ranges, no European or Japanese, & certainly nothing exotic such as Korean, Brazillian or Hungarian brass. So I won't be calling this toy shop !!!
Do. You. Guy s. Have. H. O. And. N. Scale katolog s. For. Buying. I. Live. In. Asian country. Van. I. Buy. From. You. Via. Mail.
