Hi!

Some friends and I will be visiting Amsterdam in a couple of months.

Does anyone know of any model train shops in the city or nearby?

I couldn't find anything from an on-line search.

Thank you.

Hi,
I think the closest shop is Harlaar Modeltreinen https://www.modeltreinen.nl/

A quick look at google maps, states it about 40 min by public transport from Amsterdam Central.

I concur on Harlaar and can also recommend Kuijper's in Utrecht. Utrecht is about a half an hour train ride from Amsterdam Central.

I have ordered from Harlaar before. I have also ordered from a few other Dutch dealers. If you are seeking special (limited) models, you can always search for them online and have them delivered to your hotel while you are there.
I liked the service that I got from TreintjeOost (Oosterwolde) as well. I was able to obtain all of the 4705X container cars I was looking for.

You may be able to find a list of dealers here: https://www.marklin.nl

I have travelled to this shop when in Amsterdam
Tram line 2 to Oudenaardeplantsoen then a very pleasant walk to the shop - nice scenery and well worth the trip.
Great amount of stock and very helpful staff.
