The local directory / United States
Coverage leans toward Jacksonville (6 listings), Miami (5) and Tampa (3), with the rest split among St. Petersburg, Davie and Doral for 25 shops statewide. Call the shop before you buy to confirm it stocks the scale, gauge or kit your grandfather's hobby actually uses, and ask about hours, lead time on special orders and whether it ships out of state.

Model train store
A Model train store listed on Google Maps. Hobby and model-train shops sell kits, tools, trains, and RC gear — practical gifts for a modeler; gift cards work when you don't know their scale or gauge.
5193 73rd Ave NNo. The count is what this directory had published as of September 14, 2026, weighted toward Jacksonville, Miami and Tampa, so it is a starting list rather than a census of every shop in the state. Smaller towns and stores without a web presence may be missing. Confirm stock, hours and ordering options with the shop itself before you travel or ship a gift.
