The Top 10 Model Train Shops In Delaware, Maryland, And New Jersey
For the past year I've been compiling a list of model train stores for my model railroading website. These shops all look like a lot of fun to visit, but what are the most popular? Here is a list for the states of Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey.
The most popular model railroading shops (based on online chatter) in Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey are:
10. Ridgefield Hobby in Ridgefield, New Jersey
9. Maplewood Hobby in Maplewood, New Jersey
8. M. B. Klein Model Train Stuff in Cockeysville, Maryland
7. Tony's Train Town in Cedar Grove, New Jersey
6. MTH Electric Trains in Columbia, Maryland
5. Hobbymasters in Red Bank, New Jersey
4. The Model Railroad Shop in Piscataway, New Jersey
3. The Train Station in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey
2. Toy Train Emporium in Cherry Hill, New Jersey
...and the most popular shop for model trains in Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey is...
1. The Hobby Shop in Aberdeen, New Jersey
Hobby shops not quite making my top 10 were Just Trains in Newark, Delaware; Millsboro Hobbies in Millsboro, Delaware; Seaside Hobbies in Ocean View, Delaware; Engine House Hobbies in Gaithersburg, Maryland; G Scale Train Station in Waldorf, Maryland; Hobby Works in Rockville, Laurel, and Bel Air, Maryland; The Train Room in Hagerstown, Maryland; Atlantic Rails in Folsom, New Jersey; Genes Train Stop in Kearny, New Jersey; Island Trains in Middletown, New Jersey; Pastime Hobbies and Miniatures in Bayonne, New Jersey; Z and Z Hobbies in Mercerville, New Jersey; Zeppelin Hobbies and Raceway in Wayne, New Jersey.
So, there are lots of great model railroading shops from all over Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey but clearly New Jersey dominated the list with eigth in the top ten. Maryland had two in the ten, and Just Trains in Delaware just missed out. Note that this list was for the train stores more than their online web stores. If this list were for online stores www.modeltrainstuff.com, the website of M. B. Klein Model Train Stuff would probably have won.
When in Delaware, Maryland, or New Jersey be sure to visit some of the excellent railroading museums including Harrington Museum and Railroad Museum in Harrington, Delaware; Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland; Brunswick Railroad Museum in Brunswick, Maryland; Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum in Hagerstown, Maryland; Huntington Railroad Museum in Bowie, Maryland; New Jersey Museum of Transportation in Wall, New Jersey; Whippany Railway Museum in Whippany, New Jersey; and South Jersey Railroad Museum in Tuckahoe, New Jersey.
I compiled this list by searching for the hobby shops listed on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online. I further screened this list to include only pages that mentioned model railroading.

Chicken wire and posts. Post out the area, then attached the chicken wire….the posts have hooks. You will also need a place for the chickens to roost or lay eggs. Here’s a site to give you some ideas.
