1992 marked a new direction for Al's Repair Inc. With the formation of A & E Railroad, a division of Al's Repair. The new division was to be a special order model train store only. That didn't last very long. We are now a full line hobby store.

We have in store layouts  in HO scale, N scale O27/O31 scale, and G gauge. As a sponsor  of the Thief River Falls Model Railroad Club we offer a club discount to members. The club also meets in the store at 7:00 PM on the first Tuesday of every month.
