Other Scales

Although Central Hobbies stocks mostly HO Scale and N Scale items, we do carry products in O, S, Z and G scales. While we do not stock these scales as extensively as HO or N scale, we will be glad to special order any available items for you. We are TT-Scale friendly.


O Scale Models

Central Hobbies has a modest selection of O Scale and three rail O Scale products. We have a selection of new and used Atlas, Williams, Weaver, MTH, K-Line, and Canadian Toy Train Association Special runs.
