I love this shop with its great selection of trains, models, and toys. The staff are particularly knowledgeable about plastic model kits, tools, and supplies. America's Best is one of my favorite Chicago area shops.

On 6/24/2026 Otto V. had this to say:
This store is simply amazing for the train lover! They have everything here that you will ever need. From vintage trains and accessories and tools that you need to repair them, to new trains and toys, paint and plays, this store is a throwback to when everyone collected trains. There's model kits, puzzles and modern toys for the little ones, I particularly loved the vintage section with some older models on display. It's time to just walk around here, i never knew that such a store existed.

On 6/24/2026 Jane V. had this to say:
Stop in here on a whim we were out for a drive and saw that there was a train and hobby store. What a hidden gem. My father was a train collector and he would have loved this store. This story reminded me of the train set up that my father had in our attic. So many trains and accessories , as well as cars, model kits, newer Breyer Horses, dolls, puzzles, and toys for young and old. I could have spent all day here and my husband had to drag me out.
