I first started shopping at G&G when the shop was on Isabella Street, off Almeda Rd. I got there on my bike. I don't remember the year, but somewhere in my railroad "junk" is an un-used gift certificate from G&G for $10 that my mom got for me in around 1957. Back in those days it could have gotten me a bag full of stuff. Now it will probably buy me a magazine or two! Keep up the good work guys.

Just a comment, I grew up in Houston and G&G was my favorite hobby shop for years. In 1954 or 55 I moved to Houston with my family and G&G was one of the first places I discovered. Mr. & Mrs. Morrison where the owners then and Gus Freitag was the primary Model Train guy. When we started our teenage model railroad club, The Redskin Railroaders out of Lamar High School in the late 50's, G&G was one of our sponsors and really helped a lot. I am almost 70 now, living in Jefferson, Texas and still railroading. All of my fellow model railroaders in this part of the country have stories about their association with G&G. I bought my first brass loco in there in 1957 or 8. It was a Tenshodo Atlantic, I still have it. Keep on trackin' and thanks for all the great memories of a great hobby shop.

G&G Model Shop has been there a long time and for good reason. They are nice, friendly, and helpful. Only problem is almost no parking but that is the Rice Village area. It's worth the effort.

Best Model Shop in Houston. G & G has been here since 1954. I bought my first plastic kit there that year. Since then, G & G has been a landmark in a city that quickly forgets its past. The shop carries the best stock of plastic models, HO railroads and architectural supplies in Houston.

It's such a cliche, but it really is like going back in time. My husband used to play with Lionel trains as a kid, and his grandfather has set up an elaborate staging area in his basement. I also love G and G's kits for making dioramas with. The prices are not particularly cheap, but the quality of the selection - as well as the warm welcome by the staff - are worth it.

I have to drag my husband out of this place! We really could just look for hours at all of the wonderful things they have! I was actually looking for a painting kit my husband wanted, and I could not find it anywhere. I finally called beforehand, and they had it! I was shocked! It's a great place, with warm people. I recommend of course!

I love this place - when you walk in you feel like you are going back in time. Family owned and operated, their prices are reasonable and the service is stellar. In this case, their old-fashioned sales system works, and they are always understanding about returns and exchanges. I'd rather support this small, well-run business than any large chain...
