About us

DC Rail and Hobby Depot is a home-based, family owned and operated business. We're not a huge corporation but rather fellow hobbyists that enjoy Model Railroading, producing quality products and passing on great deals to our customers. We are home to Hobby Loads, a full line of freight loads for over 250 gondolas and hoppers in every scale from N to G. We don't use resins, molds, plastic or foam in the making of our products. Our loads are hand-crafted one at a time from real wood and meticulously designed to fit each individual car. Our loads come in a variety of real freight materials from Anthracite Coal to River Rock, and each load is tested repeatedly during the production process to ensure an exact fit, every time. Hobby Loads have been produced by hand for over 20 years and like our motto says: NO TWO LOADS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE! Our craftsmanship, attention to detail and use of real materials are what set us apart and make our products unique.

    Fast transaction and GREAT COMMUNICATION!! The item I purchased has missing parts, which I knew. This Seller emailed me ensuring I had read the description and was aware parts were missing. THAT'S service! Item was packaged very well for safe shipment! Shipping was quick until the box reached the USPS! The USPS took 7 DAYS to deliver my box from Richmond VA to Fayetteville NC literally a 3-hour drive!! We exchanged messages about the USPS and had a good chuckle! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

    My purchase of MTH #30-9083 Green 2-Story Farm house #6, Lighted, C7 OOP arrived to me rather promptly, Securely boxed in a secure, thickly insulated shipping box. The Farm House revealed itself to be in excellent like new condition as described in the sales listing. I was watching for a Model Farm House of this type and color, and this one came up with original box, at a very resonable price, and it was well received. I would recommend this seller.

    Fantastic communications, high integrity as a seller. Exactly as described and wonderfully packaged for shipping. Excellent value. The seller even contacted me to make sure that I knew exactly what I had purchased as he did not want me to be disappointed! He had sent it, at no extra charge to me, priority mail to compensate for bad weather! I could not have asked for better communication.
