Welcome to MotherLodeTrains.com! We are a family-owned business located in South Metro Denver, specializing in purchasing quality model train collections, railroad books, and model railroading supplies of all types and scales. These items are sold through our eBay store, this website, and at area train shows and swap meets. We also offer in-person shopping experiences that we like to call “Prospecting.”
We hope you will bookmark our page and add us to your favorites. We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality service and the fastest order fulfillment possible. Known as “The Fastest Shipper in the West,” we love what we do—and it shows! We hope you will experience the difference when you shop with us and share your experience with friends and clubmates.
Our Mission
We aim to build lasting client relationships based on trust, personalized service, and the shared joy of ensuring your trains are cherished for generations to come.
Giving Back
All of us at Mother Lode believe that giving back establishes and maintains strong connections to the community we serve. We actively support Youth In Model Railroading (website) through regular donations that help pay it forward and grow the hobby. In addition, we believe that the preservation of 12” Scale Trains (also known as 1:1 Scale) is tremendously important, and we support both The Colorado Railroad Museum (website) and The Narrow Gauge Preservation Foundation (website). We also honor our nation’s true heroes—our Veterans and First Responders—with regular support to the Tunnels to Towers Foundation www.t2t.org.
