In late August of 2023 I brought much of HO collection of both completed craftsmen kits such as Ambroid One-in-Five thousands, Hobbytown of Boston and La Belle, Also there were many unfinished kits such as American Beauty and Athearn. I was pleasantly surprised when he gave me a very substantial payment after selling a lot of my HO gauge including parts.

Sommerfeld's Trains & Hobbies: what do users think?

Evan Howard: Mr. Sommerfeld is very knowledgeable. I bought a used train set, so he tested the engine for me. When it sounded like it was grinding a gear, he swapped the engine out for no extra charge. Highly recommended for model railroading needs.

Royce Thomas: Haven't been there yet but by the looks of the photos it looks good can't wait to go in there.

Larry Kitzinger: Always a good place to visit.Great people. Good prices. Vast selection.

Martin Hendrickx: Great hobby shop

Chad Kowalewski: This is the best train shop in the State of Wisconsin. The store is neat well stocked and the staff is top notch going above and beyond every time I have had the pleasure of visiting. Unlike other train stores that look like crowded attics or basement this store is clearly above the competition. This is the only train store I will patronize. You will not be disappointed.

James Miller: Just stopped in to get my brother a Christmas gift and I had a great time. Jack was incredibly helpful with all of my questions, he took time to make sure we found everything we were looking for as always. Great selection, good prices. Will stop again.

EmilyMarie Browne: I needed to sell my MTH Z4000 and I received an excellent price. The owner Jack Sommeefeld was great. And once things get better, I will purchase again. I love his prices

Patrick Irvin: If you love trains this is the place for you! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff along with an awesome inventory!

Mike Mottler: . He offered several ways to do it, and we ultimately decided to acquire a new PRR "General" locomotive with LionChief and Bluetooth technology on board -- then swap the PRR body and tender shells for the "old" RI&P body and tender shells.Presto Chango! I now have a RI&P 1880s-style loco that bears my favorite road name with modern technology inside - done at a reasonable price for the "brain transplant." The inaugural run on my layout was a total success. Perfect! With appreciation to Matt.Mike Mottler LCCA 12394

Karl Kolmer: Tons of model train related stuff. Aisles were stacked with merchandise, apparently after a recent show.Matt was excellent at answering questions and helping me to make an appropriate engine choice for my needs and plans.

N scale Butler Jct. WI: Great model railroad store , with products for all scales new and resale with freindly knowledgeable staff Jack and Matt .

Every time I stop in to pick something up or look around, I spend a majority of my visit chatting away with Tom behind the counter. Whether it's about the models themselves or the painting side of the hobby. Always friendly and willing to answer questions or give advice, top notch customer service your entire visit.

Moonscript: Good selection of items, and the employee who was there, Tom, was very friendly and knowledgeable about whatever I asked. Other patrons were also very nice and friendly.Prices leave something to be desired, but that’s an issue with warhammer and games workshop as a whole, not this specific store.

April Balagna: Tom is so helpful and remembers his regulars well enough to help me shop for them despite my lack of Warhammer knowledge ❤

Sam Aliotta: Absolutely loved this place. Made my whole week! I came in knowing very little and stepping out excited to start a new hobby! It doesn't feel like a shop, it has a warm "friends house" feel to it I genuinely adore. Will definitely come back here!!!!

Eric Johnson: Everything from retro/vintage to new. A model geek's paradise!

Jeff JJ: I have read some of the negative reviews and have to admit, I was a little anxious to go here. However, I had nothing but an excellent experience. The owner was friendly and helpful and the selection of model cars was like nothing I’ve ever seen. There are so many vintage kits here. Yes, it’s not the fanciest place. But I thought that the section I was interested in was very organized. The prices were very clear. I am here from out of town but the next time I come here I’m definitely going back.

George Taylor: My daughter and I went in yesterday after finding this location on maps. Reminds me of the old school hobby shops I grew up with as a kid. The selection is amazing! The store owner is very nice and fun to talk with. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Milwaukee.
