Highly recommend

Bought several items from Squeakys and have always been very pleased. The emails are quick and communication is great. All of their products are excellent. If your not pleased with your current vendor I highly recommend buying something from them!

ESU 50345 Rectangular Speaker with Enclosure

Shipping was unbelievably fast, got 3 days after order. Cost was the best I could find. The ESU 50345 Rectangular Speaker with Enclosure was easy to install and sounds excellent with the esu v5 decoder.

Most professional delivery ever

Squeakey's Trains & Things packaged my purchase in a protective hard sided box that was custom printed with their name and logo. Very professional. Inside was my purchase in lots of bubble wrap, a receipt, glossy buisness card and a lollipop! That personal attention is head and shoulders above amazon and others!!
Surprised and very happy with their service.

EMD SD40-2

I purchased 2 Kato SD40-2 to be used with my slug shells I recently made on my 3D printer. Squeaky’s shipping was perfect. Well packaged and fast shipping. Thank you Squeaky for everything.

Good service

Decoder arrived quickly and qwas a good value.

Squeaky's is a GREAT place to get Model railroad supplies

They tend to keep their inventory / computer in synch, so you don't have to worry about getting "not in stock" message or whatever. Saves Time! They communicate very well, keep you informed and are a treasure among small businesses run by the close-knit family. Items are always packed securely and arrive in perfect shape.

Small stations

Nice model; easily built

Nice Train

Really love the detail of this locomotive. Very smooth running. Excellent price too.

Woodland Scenics 5770 | Just Plug Lighting System | Power Supply

Excellent for breaking out decoder terminals

Great for accessing decoder IO's.
The only issue was the motor on board only works if I push in on the flywheel. Other than that it works good.

He loves it!

"It's a wonderful thing I can see what's going on all around my platform now"

I rolled a 300 game at Walthers Vintage bowling alley!

Looks like it'll be a fun kit to put others. Arrived in perfect shape.

Shaper Sheets

Easy to use, very versital, but user must remember to spray the fabric with a little water before applying the shaper sheet plaster. You can also mix it with latex paint, but I found that too be a waste of time.

Ordered a back ordered item

The item was back ordered and the staff constantly kept me informed of the status of the product. I was very impressed with the service and the communication they provided. The product came as promised and works as expected. I will definitely do business with squeaky’s in the future

NixTrainz | Decoder Buddy Mini (1k Ohm Resistors Onboard)

A very nice quality item making decoder installations a bit easier. Best prices at Squeaky's Trains.

Great product came fast as described. Great seller!

Gentili e molto seri

Ottimo negozio. Consigliato

EMD SW-1. Circa 1951. 15 years on the shelf

This model is so old it has brass wheels for the engine. It was never built to run DCC in fact DCC did not exist when I purchased this model. I took it off the shelf after 15 years gutted the insides and added the Soundtraxx products that I bought from you. it was a tight fit. the only problem I have is I only bought one of the tiny mini speakers I should’ve bought two. The sound would’ve been much better and I would’ve had the eight ohms that I needed for the speaker system. I’ll be back to get another one and find a place to put it inside the Engine🤣. Your service was so quick I had a notification that the product shipping label had been created hours after I ordered the parts. The only problem is USPS. Thank you guys I will be back

Get service, great price! Everyone else is higher and charges shipping. Squeaky’s is the best price around and shipping is free!

Programmer is easy to use

This works fine. I use it in combination with the decoder tester, which makes programming and test running the decoder very easy from my PC laptop. Expensive, yes, but worthwhile if several decoder installations are planned, especially if you want to customise the sounds for your existing and future train collection.
