Milepost 38 Toy Trains

Great train store grandson loves it !

This place is great. Right next door is Arnie’s trains. They are work together to make sure you get what you need and at a great price.

Took my son to the store today to check out a great selection of Thomas the Tank Engine toys. Plenty of stock on hand, things for my kid to play with and a super friendly staff. It’s a good place to take the kids if they love trains.

I really appreciate this store especially since so train stores have disappeared. I have vintage 1949 – 54 Lionel trains some of which required significant repair. The repairs completed by Milepost 38 were excellent and thanks to their expertise, continue to operate flawlessly. They also have a great selection of tracks, accessories, etc. Thank you Milepost 38… you all are great!

Every first Saturday of the month, 3 year old Drew has a big responsibility. It is his day to babysit Grandpa. Since he is more than a few years short of being eligible for a driver’s license, and a few feet short of being able to reach the gas peddle, I decided that this time he might need an additional escort. I can’t deny, I was curious too.
Usually the two of them go to the Chino Airplane Museum, as Drew is already an honorary mini-​docent there and has a jaw dropping passion for WWII planes. But this time was a bit different. Drew announced that he wanted to go to the hobby shop to see some trains. So, after a little research by Grandpa, an adventure to Westminster was tacked on to the museum trip.
Milepost 38 is the perfect place for a little guy. A shop filled with a mix of toy and larger train models like I remember seeing circling around our Christmas tree, the first thing you really notice is the operating layout that has several of those large scale trains running on the tracks, complete with puffs of smoke coming out the smoke stacks. Then there is the child’s table that is set up for a Thomas Toy Train set (made by Fisher Price), happily inviting little hands to touch, choo choo, and manipulate to their hearts’ content. This is a clever way to get parents and grandparents to feel a wave of guilt if they do not buy yet another accessory or vehicle to start or add to a growing set already at home. I know it worked for me. When Drew declared that he «didn’t have that one yet’, referring to Harold the Helicopter, this Grandma was right on it. And there is an impressive amount of additional accessories for future spoiling.
Don’t forget to walk next door for the other train shop, Arnies. That one is the «toy store» for the Dads and Grandpas.

I was very excited to take my toddler here because he absolutely loves Thomas and all things trains. There was just one older man working. He never once looked at me, smiled, greeted me or asked if I needed any help the entire time (about 20 minutes) my son and I were there. There were about 2 – 3 older customers there as well, to which he was helping and talking to. And even when all the other customers left and we were the only ones left. Nothing. He went to the restroom and then the back room. As I left 2 other older men working there joined him up him up at the front and still no good bye or have a nice day. Now this bugs me more than anything. I will never spend my money somewhere that can’t even acknowledge me as a human being. Shame on them. Despicable. Also I would like to add that although they have a large selection of Thomas trains and sets. I think they are overpriced and old. I picked up one train and the plastic was yellow…

Tis the season to have a train go around our Christmas tree. No place better than mile38post! I was always a model train enthusiast and have a very large HO scale collection, but it was a bit undersize for going around my Christmas tree. I also didn’t want a battery operated train. I wanted a train I can pass on to my son and his son. The staff here at mile38post were very helpful. My very first train kid when I was a kid was a Bachmann large scale but that was over my budget. I ended up picking up my first O gauge train by Lionel.
Even though my first train set was defective, the staff did not hesitate replacing my faulty engine with a new one. I was also able to test my new train on their display track just to make sure I left satisfied, and sure was I stoked.
Thanks again Matt, John and Randy! Definitely worth my drive from Glendale to Orange County.

I recently brought my nephew here who loves trains! I brought him in and the staff was very friendly. they showed my nephew around, showed him different trains & they showed him the demo they had there. we were her for at least 1 hour and thats all my nephew has been talking about for the last week.
Highly Recommend to visit this place

I’ve heard about this train store for awhile, so I decided to visit it while I was somewhat in the neighborhood. It’s actually 2 train stores in one, a large scale toy train store right next to a HO/​N Scale store. I visited both.
This is a very nice store. And big. Staff is very knowledgeable.
What I really liked is their bargain basement sales items on tables they picked up from collections. These have some very reasonable prices on them. It’s one of the few stores that has a lot of items priced as low as you could buy stuff at train meets.
The only downside for me is they had very little S-​gauge items for sale, but that won’t bother most people since HO and O are more popular.
They also have some nice layouts in different gauges in the store. And, parking is no problem.

First. They have lot’s of nice O and G gauge trains. which is pretty neat
Second. Their service is great. while this isn’t the biggest Train shop the service makes up for it
Third. They got Knowledge. I am happy they told me what and what I didn’t need
And how to make a better train
Cheers! to this store. Thank you,

I have always loved both toy and model trains since i was young:) I just stumbled upon this great shop there selection is truly incredible they have all the latest models and high end replicas. I fell in love with the 1960s vintage trains but to name just a few they have from Amtrak to Thomas and way more including lots of toys but everything in the store is high quality, and artistically chosen.
I was happy to see they have specially train tracks, bridges, and individual parts to maintenance your models, they also have hyperealistic seen props for your growing train masterpiece. Prices here are very competitive!!! very inexpensive… I spoke with a guy name Matt over an hour he was very friendly and knowledgeable I breathe a sigh of relief when I feel good about purchasing a good product from friendly people i have confidence you will love this place the staff and the products :)
