Our in store service professionals often hear customers say how much they appreciate having personal, face-to-face relationships with us. This is important because customer relationships are the heart and soul of our company’s success… and is one very important reason that we do not sell by the direct “Click & Buy” method.

Face-to-face, over the phone or in-store sales are the basis of long-term customer satisfaction - period. We want to ensure that all of our customers receive the right products at the right price and the best way to do that is by knowing you, your needs and your goals. That can't be done using Click & Buy.

The changing and evolving model train technology demands that customers experience the sight and sound of their engine or rolling stock first-hand. You often need to see what your buying or find out how to wire it up. Sometimes you may need to discuss several solutions and we can help you choose which is best for your particular situation. Only then can we be sure you're getting something that belongs to your project and isn't just 'close enough'.

Feel free to give us a call or use the "Click to Order" button on any product. Then we can call you back and get your shipping information. We are deeply committed to our customers and to model railroading in general. That's why the Columbia River N Scale Club fills the entire basement of our store! Come on by or call. We'd love to hear from you.

Located in the level below our shop, The Columbia River N scale club is one of the premier N -Trak N scale clubs in the Northwest. Their layout models the Columbia River Gorge where the BNSF has tracks on one side of the river and the UP on the other side. The layout features excellent scenery, track work, uses Digitrax and is being set up to do signaling. The club hosts Saturday open houses, clinics and operation sessions and tours can be scheduled during the week too. You can view still images or watch the MRH Magazine video below. Interested in joining? Want to see it? Contact The Hobby Smith: (503) 284-1912

Club Goals: Have Fun, Meet New Friends, Learn about DCC, Learn new modeling techniques, Have more fun!
