Warrick Custom Hobbies

Kids of all ages, from preschoolers to granddads, have been coming to Warrick for more than 30 years, and there's every reason to believe they'll keep coming back. Like several stores in one, Warrick is renowned among hobbyists for its selection of train sets, vintage plastic model cars, military replicas and radio-control planes, helicopters, boats and cars. Upon entering this 15,000-square-foot supermarket, shoppers encounter an encased 25-foot-long train set that has the power of hypnosis over collectors of Lionel and Union-Pacific miniatures. Warrick offers further visual stimulation with new plasma screens that showcase products. What's constant, however, are the salespeople who can talk the lingo with everyone from hardcore enthusiasts to newbies who are trying to buy something for their 10-year-old.
