About

In 1913 Morris Benjamin Klein founded M.B. Klein, Inc. as a general hardware store and locksmith shop.
Through the years the store was slowly converted into strictly model trains. The switch-over was completed by the mid-1970’s. Throughout the years M.B. Klein established itself as a leading model train retailer in the greater Baltimore area and beyond.

The explosion of the Internet in the late 1990’s brought with it a great opportunity for M.B. Klein. The staff of the store began building what would later become Modeltrainstuff.com! The site began as a small catalog to primarily highlight new arrivals to our retail store. Fast forward to today and Modeltrainstuff.com is one of the primier online hobby shops serving model railroaders from over 90 countries around the world!
