Hi I am travelling to Orlando for a convention at the Orange County Convention Center and staying on International Dr and was wondering what are the best trains stores which have HO scale close by.

Thanks

Gordon,

I live on the west side of Orlando. There are some smaller shops in the outlying areas, but the one most people here utilize is:

Colonial Photo & Hobby

1-800-841-1485

634 N. Mills Ave.

Orlando, FL 32803

It is located on the west side of the downtown area. They have a pretty good selection of railroading items manily in HO, but have O, N, and Z scale. If you are looking for something in particular ask at the counter. Hope this helps.

I used to live part time there, and the only decent hobby shop was Colonial Photo and Hobby. They have the most and best stuff.

Although I live in Pennsylvania, my son and his family live near Orlando. I’ve been in Colonial Photo and Hobby several times and I agree that they have a very good shop with a nice selection.

The Hobby Spot on Fairbanks in Winter Park is a decent shop.
