Train Trader, Sydney

Buy, sell or trade! This model train shop has been in business for over thirteen years and boasts a strong national and international clientele. According to the owner, it is patronized mainly by collectors, as children now prefer computer games and other forms of entertainment. The shop carries new and second-hand steam, electric and diesel locomotives, including Hornby and Tri-ang, but takes particular pride in locating rare and hard-to-find examples from the German, Marklin range. Train Trader also sells tracks, together with accessories like building kits and spare parts, and offers a repair service.
