Athearn Model Trains is owned and operated by Arnie’s Trains in California.

Arnie’s Trains has been providing Orange County with model trains since 1977!

Arnie’s Trains has been a family owned train store since its birth. We have moved and upgraded the store a total of 3 times. Arnie’s continues to be the largest and most successful store in Orange County due to superb customer service, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and a huge selection of the latest and greatest trains in the industry.

We decided that it was time to get into the internet business, after purchasing Athearn Trains.com as a advertising website, many folks out there wanted to buy Athearn items from us, well now they can!

This is the start of a great website that will offer the high quality service that our local customers are used to.
