About Us

    My name is Nathan Kline. I own and operate Nate’s Light Iron Hobbies, a hobby shop dedicated to model trains and related accessories. I have been interested in trains and model railroading all my life, especially narrow gauge and the East Broad Top railroad. My interest in trains and model railroading and my many years of experience inspired me to establish Nate’s Light Iron Hobbies in August of 2007 to bring a unique business to all fans of narrow gauge and shortline model railroading. At Nate’s Light Iron Hobbies we specialize in narrow gauge and shortline model railroading as well as DCC and sound. We offer competitive pricing and, above all, excellent customer service. We are an authorized Soundtraxx and Blackstone Models dealer and we stock all current Soundtraxx decoders and accessories and all current Blackstone Models items. Although narrow gauge and shortline model railroading is our specialty we offer all popular scales and brands of model trains and accessories and we don’t believe in offering our customers anything we wouldn’t use on our own model railroad!

    Please be aware that we are trying to build our stock as we grow, if we don't have what you're looking for in stock please let us know and we will be glad to find it and special order it for you if it is available. Please see our products page for all the brands of model railroad and other hobby products, including books, that are available to you! We hope you enjoy visiting our website and find it easy to use and locate what you're searching for. Thank you for looking and Happy Model Railroading!
