Imagine a world of tiny people -- some less than one inch tall -- at work and play, alongside homes and businesses, streets and country roads, hillsides covered with towering three-inch tall trees.  Suddenly you hear the blast of a train whistle and see a locomotive chugging through town, pulling a load of freight cars -- over a bridge, out through the hillsides, and upwards through a mountain tunnel.  It's not make-believe... this is the End of the Line Gifts and Hobby Shop in Stockton.  If you are a model train enthusiast, this is a slice of heaven.  And for everyone else of all ages, it is a fantasy land of train layouts, detailed to the "nth degree" by members of the Stockton Area Train Club. 

Be sure to set aside some time for the End of the Line.  You won't want to leave until you have carefully studied the variety of landscapes and appreciated the extraordinary talents of crafters who have built these large "trainscapes," some of which are still in progress.

 

After you have worked your way through the front room of train layouts, you'll be amazed at the treasure trove of model craft supplies of all sizes and kinds -- everything you need to create your own fantasy trainscape, or build a model of that car you've always wanted, or airplanes you dream of flying.  Everything is here for the hobby crafter!

 

And if you're not a crafty person and just need a gift, wind your way to the back of the store where you'll find home decor, candles, glassware, Rada Cutlery, and much, much more!  A beautiful variety of gifts for your own home or for someone else.  It's the "End of the Line" for your gift shopping list!

 

End of the Line Gifts & Hobbies is open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Store owner Marian Conyac would love to have you stop in and visit.
