About Us

Chuga-Chuga Choo-Choo Hobbies opened its first store in 1977 in the
Whistle Stop Mall in Shelby, N.C.

A full line Hobby Shop now catering to a third generation of Hobbyist.
We now feature a 3200 square foot store located in the Cleveland Mall.

We always welcome the new hobbyist and are eager to answer questions
for those that are just getting started. If you are looking for an item that
you are unable to find, if it is a hobby item , we can locate it, providing it
is current production. We feature over 10,000 out of production kits, if
we don't have it you probably can't get it.
