Why choose Trainz?
It's a fair question. There are plenty of places to buy model trains from, so what makes us special?
We have an enormous selection of new and used collectible model trains to choose from. So big in fact, that we've put lots of development time into building out a fast, functional, and customizable search function for you.
What if we don't have what you're looking for? Don't worry, we have a Wish List for that!
Our hobby isn't the cheapest out there. Subscribe to our newsletter for special discounts, advance notice of promotions, and more.
Looking for another way to save? We offer free shipping on orders over $500 USD. Alaska and Hawaii are currently excluded, but we're looking for ways to change that. Of course you can always choose faster shipping methods, and if you're local we do have customer pickup as an option.
Don't forget our Trainz Rewards points! Yes, you earn points with every purchase, and those points can be redeemed for a discount on a future order.
Are you a dedicated collector, on the hunt for your holy grail? Try our Private Car membership program. Not only do you unlock exclusive early access to newly listed collectibles, but you'll receive a host of additional benefits like a higher Trainz Rewards points multiplier, extended return window, and even a no-questions-asked return policy.
Why, we even offer training courses on how to repair and maintain your collection with our Trainz Academy. Learn Lionel repair from Mike Reagan, and MTH repair from Don Lockwood at your speed.
If you're into repairing your collection, then you'll need parts. Trainz has an enormous, easily searchable inventory of parts just for you. We even have exploded parts diagrams to help you figure out just what you need.
Yes, Trainz has a lot to offer you, my friend. I hope you enjoy your time with us train fanatics. If you have any questions or feedback, reach out to us. We listen.
