Gifts & Collectibles
Die-cast locomotives, holiday trains, and curated gift sets. Perfect for the hobbyist in your life — or a treat for yourself.
A Boise Shop Where the Hobby Comes First
Treasure Valley Choo Choo Trains was founded on a simple belief: model railroading deserves a home in Boise. We're not a big-box retailer — we're hobbyists ourselves, and every product on our shelves is something we'd put in our own yard.
From beginners picking their first starter set to seasoned builders sourcing rare parts, we treat every customer the same way — with patience, expertise, and a genuine interest in helping them build the railroad they envision.
A Glimpse Inside the Shop
Shelves stocked with the latest releases, classic re-releases, and everything in between.
What Our Customers Say
We let the trains do the talking — but our regulars are happy to share their experience.
I brought in a vintage locomotive that hadn't run in years. They diagnosed the issue, got it running, and even helped me pick out the right track to test it on. That's the kind of shop you don't find everywhere.
My son wanted to get into model trains and we had no idea where to start. The staff walked us through everything — scale, space, budget — and we left with the perfect starter set. He's been hooked ever since.
Best selection of N scale in the area, hands down. I drive from out of town now because I know they'll have what I'm looking for. Plus the pricing is fair and the advice is honest.
