About Us

Leonard Mrsny opened Kenwood Model Railroad Supply in May of 1936 in Omaha, Nebraska as a small model railroad supply store.  The store moved to its present location on 81st and Maple Street in 1952.  It was renamed House of Trains in 1962.  From 1967 to the late 1970's more than just model trains were carried.  The House of Trains was a full line hobby shop stocking model trains, airplanes, rockets, slot cars, scenery, plastic kits and accessories.  Over the years, the House of Trains has been refined as the hobby and customer interest has changed.  David Mrsny, Leonard's grandson, is the current operator of the store. 

We offer all scales in the store and through the website.  As always, repairs and knowledgeable assistance with the model trains of all sizes are offered.  As in conducting with any good business practice, good lines of communication are crucial.  We provide honest and open communication on product availability, price, repairs, assembly/layout assistance and technological questions.  We will promptly respond to any inquiries to the best of our ability.  We try to ship most items within two business days.  There are times, however, when it may take a little longer during the Christmas season or during vacation.  Special order items will be shipped upon availability.  An email notice will be sent when the package ships with any available tracking number.  Nebraska residents will be charged appropriate sales tax for their shipping address.  Customers outside of the United States will pay any taxes or import fees upon receipt of package.
