one of the reasons we go to train shows is to go through the aisles and find
some good deals on model railroading equipment and supplies I'm going to tell
you about five other places where you can go to find those same good deals
I'm Tom Kvichak and this is Toms Trains and Things this channel was
created to help other modelers who are need of guidance
in pursuing their dream of building a model railroad now you've seen videos
where I've gone to train shows and some of the things that I have brought back
from there I've also used a lot of other sources for those same good deals and
that's what we're gonna talk about today where I live in Southwest Florida we
only have one train show a year and that is about 25 miles away and for me to go
to any other train shows I have to travel at least two hours sometimes
three and four hours I've gone as far as staying overnight someplace just to go
to a train show but you may have the same situation I have found five
different sources for model railroad items in my general area that I'd like
to share with you right now right after this if you would like to
see more videos like this go ahead and hit that subscribe button and do that
bell so you could be notified whenever I have a new video coming out and while
you're at it go check out my playlist because they're categorized for you to
find easily and there's a lot of valuable information in those videos so
let's get going with this right now number one hobby shop clearance aisles
now not all hobby shops are going to have these owls or these shelves where
they have clearance items if the hobby shop that I go to in Fort Myers Metro
hobbies they have an owl specifically for clearance items now I buy a lot of
stuff from there and you may have some at your hobby shop also I'm not saying
that all hobby shops are like that I've gone to a lot of other hobby shops that
don't have them but some of them do and if they have them in your area
you're gonna luck out because you're gonna find some very good items these
modulars by Walters they were getting rid of these now they normally sold them
they had them on the shelf for $5.00 for a long
time and I just ignored him and they put him over into clearance aisle and they
had him for three dollars while I picked up a few of them for three dollars and
then finally they went all the way down to two dollars for thee so all in all I
got about eight of these like that you can see that one right there that's from
there and then this one right here is from those kits and I have one over here
that I'll show you a picture of I got rolling stock there
I got locomotive parts there now I don't use these on my railroad but if you're
just starting out you might want to get these I got these here for 75 set you
can see these 75 cents now I use this under my Christmas tree on the living
room floor okay see this one here the clip was broke on it and this one was 25
cents still works still good but that's what I'm talking about
number two Hobby Lobby clearance isle Michael's Joanne's I've gotten lots of
stuff there just plugs that can't sell the colors
that can't sell I picked them all up for a couple of bucks instead of paying the
$9.99 per tube of it I paid mate something like $2.50 sometimes
three bucks warm you can get all kinds of stuff I got the dusting powder I
don't know why they have it on in a clearance but it's in the clearance
aisle sometimes you'll find some things that the package was opened up I got a 6
foot long hose from my airbrush for like $3 at Michael's go all the way in the
back and the clearance and and find it back there you're always gonna find some
stuff in the clearance you may not think they don't have anything that's
pertinent to model railroading but you could always use it for something you
don't know how much paint that I got even spray paint in the back in the
clearance I don't know why maybe somebody popped a cap on it or something
usually now they lock them they lock them all up so you won't find that but
Joanne's a seam or they have clearance Isles
where you could find stuff that's really good sometimes forty sixty percent off
of their original price so check those out also number three thrift stores we
spend a lot of time going to thrift stores Goodwill Salvation Army white
elephant there's a lot of different ones in this area you know that aren't
connected with any large organizations also the Lions Club we go to the Lions
Club a lot and I get a lot of stuff there
I got a 300 dollar tripod there for nine dollars a couple of years ago I just
found another one there man fruto tripod now if you're doing videos this might be
good for you but I paid $5.00 for it I get magazines there the one lady that
works in the book department her husband gets a subscription and every two months
she gives me a cause he says I have it here
I have things up on the wall that I just got pictures they hold for me I've
gotten books there if you want to learn anything about model railroading the
discount books is where you're gonna find it you could find discount books
there anytime but check out the thrift stores wherever you can you might not
find it every time a lot of the things that I got for electronics but those
wall warts that I took apart in one of the other videos I got those for 50
cents number 4 yard sales garage sales you never think of it but you could find
some stuff there also there's always somebody that's getting rid of some old
stuff and you never know what you're gonna find
I went to one garage sale and they had some goofy looking 3d railroad thing and
I says and I was looking at it and the guy says you interested in railroad and
I said yeah but not that right there he says well let me bring some of the stuff
I got inside the house and this was one of them a coal shovel
and he had a pitcher and I'll put it up here of the short lines
now I haven't hang it up on my wall in my office people are always getting rid
of things from their house they're cleaning out their garage if you further
up north are cleaning out their basement over there else they're moving you'll
find stuff get there early early as you can
Debbie's always dragging me out there to the yard sales the garage sales but
check out the garage sales okay number five online you could find websites or
groups on Facebook buy sell trade or even on eBay this is the hardest one
because you don't know what you're gonna get until you open up the box and you
see it right there now you have got to be careful if you're
gonna do anything online from private sellers like on eBay or buy sell trade
make sure that they the whatever site you're on has something where you could
verify where somebody leaves input about their past experience with them look for
the dealers on there that have a good rating on there and you'll be able to
picks up pick up some good deals now there are some really bad deals on there
also you got to weed those people out and go to the people that are on there
and selling good items and have good reviews so that's my 5 alternate methods
of finding good deals of model railroad equipment and supplies a few years ago
Debbie was out going to thrift stores on the weekend and she gave me a call and
she says you got to come out you got to come out here and see what they got they
got all these model railroad stuff here and I said you know I couldn't believe
it but I went out there I guess somebody passed away and their wife just unloaded
everything at this thrift store and they were selling it yet everything that he
had I mean he had locomotives rolling stock electronic equipment buildings I
got a lot of that stuff there and got it at a good price the only bad part of it
the locomotives were Boston to Maine I could put different decals on there for
that I run them downstairs under the Christmas tree at Christmas time on the
living room floor at the end of this video I'm going to show you some of the
things that I picked up at these places
