Great place to order some of the older Athearn kits online! I have bought from them a couple of times over the last 5 years and their email responses are fast and courteous. Shipping is just as fast and they take pride in how they ship items.

My go to store for my HO railroading needs. I always compare other stores to YD & usually find that YD has the lowest prices.Great customer service. Ive never had any problems with the YD of any kind. Often tell my fellow model railroaders to check YD when they are looking for the best prices.Try them out.

I have been buying and using g their service for a few years now with my N Scale locomotives and accessories. They are very knowledgeable and are patient with all my questions. A great company to go to for your model train experience!!

Review №4

Excellent service.Great range of in-stock decoders at excellent prices.Overseas postage can be a killer at the best of times and automated checkouts dont always do a great job of optimising. A request for a review saved me almost half of the calculated cost.

Yankee Dabbler has a large amount of inventory at great prices! Their shipping was reasonable, prompt and arrived in just 3 days! Ive already recommended them and will likely be a return customer.

Always find good deals and some significant savings. My orders are promptly shipped. Staff has helped load files on decoders in order for me to customize my trains. Yankeedabbler is a go to place for me when I need model train supplies.

This is an awesome company for Modelrailroaders. They have everything at very good prices. The only thing they need is a “guest “ at checkout Everyone does not want to create an account to checkout. If they are first time buyers ( I am not) they may want to check out how your company feels.I have dealt with them in the past They called me to save me money on an item that I purchased. Yes a company that cares about their customers. They are the best.

Over several instances, I have bought products from Yankee Dabbler. I have never had any problems with their products. The products were always well protected (encased in layers of bubble wrap).The delivery time, from ordering to receiving the product, was very fast.I reccomend buying from Yankee Dabbler.

Best model train shop Ive been to in NY metro area(NY,NJ,CT) in past 10-15 years so far! Good selection of all things related to model railroading(i model in N scale NYCRR), I was blown away. Even tho I was there just once on my way back to Yonkers,NY from the Maryland shore, I want to take the 2 hr drive back there again asap even though they ship nothing beats buying in person. I recommend you visit them.

I recently re-entered the model train hobby, resurrecting some old equipment and purchasing new while developing a new layout. YankeeDabbler Hobbies has become my go to local Model Train store. When Im ready to purchase, I check their inventory first. They fulfill my orders and ship quickly so I usually have the products in less than a week.

Ive never been to the brick and mortar store but the main thing that I do remember buying the most from them has been TCS DCC decoders. Ive mainly purchased directly online or through EBAY. The prices are very good and the orders arrive on time. Ive never had a bad experience.

Review №27

Good selection of products! Website is very user friendly.Whenever I choose to ship by weight (USPS) my package never makes it past the order recived phase. Contacting does nothing, and I eventually just cancel. I dont have this problem with any other shipping option.Other than that, its a great store to shop online.

Review №28

YD has always had great prices on Digitrax equipment. Our model RR club purchased all of our Digitrax equipment from them when we converted from DC to DCC and we never looked back and thought we had received a bad deal. Bob is always ready to help you out with your purchases.

When you go to s hobby shop you want 3 things. Good stock, good customer service, and good options on ordering. This place has all 3. They have a good online presence and you can order there or on the phone. They answer questions and are super friendly overall. The carry a good range of products from different bands. They have lot of HO scale and N with some O. They seem like they can get anything your looking for though if you call or go online. Overall super happy purchasing from there and they treated me very well.

Review №33

Yankeedabblers prices are just a tad under other hobby stores Ive dealt with. Often they have a product other hobby stores do not have. Kato track parts I ordered were a lot less than on ebay. What I like most in dealing with Yankee is there shipping cost are the lowest cost of any other Hobby Store Ive encountered.

Review №34

I ordered track from Yankee Dabbler and after waiting a month with no movement I sent an email canceling the order. I bought it elsewhere and they shipped the same day. Today I got a confirmation they shipped the track. I was able to get in touch with them this time and they stopped the shipment and cancelled the order plus refunded my money. Although the shipping was slow, the refund came quickly.

Great prices, quick shipping but the cost of shipping is literally double what anyone else charges. I paid $30 UPS for a package that would be $6.98 with USPS.This is a deal breaker for me, I only use yankeedabbler when I literally cannot get it anywhere else.

Review №87

I first purchased from Yankeedabbler on E-bay, after a couple purchases I googled them and found that they had an online store and brick and mortar store that is less than an hours drive from my home. I have been dealing with them since 2018, I have been to the store a few times, purchased some items on line and at the Great Model Train Show at the Timonium Maryland Fairgrounds where the Ntrak Modular Railroad Club, Bantrak which I belong to, sets up a large modular display at the show. every year. I would encourage any model railroaders to check Yankeedabbler and if you live near or visit around Balmar NJ or Philadelphia check out their store !!!

Review №91

Ordering a DCC system and it indicated that it would have been fulfilled in the future. I did not expect it to be delayed a few months. But I did receive the system.I would have expected that being a customer, I would have been notified that the product would be sent by a given date. I know that ordering models the suppliers give us end users a lot of hope for delivery time but .... that is what it iis.
