As many of you know, Perry Becker passed away September 18th, 2024. Over the past year, Jim and Paul have worked on reducing inventory to make closing the business easier and that day is fast approaching.Please note that effective December 20th, 2025, Perry's Hobbies will officially close, bringing a long history of selling Railroad Books, DVD's and model trains to an end.Perry started Perry's Hobbies in 1967/68 so over the past 58 years, we have been extremely fortunate and blessed to have some of the very best customers anyone could ask for. We have also been very blessed to get to know many of you quite well and develop many close friendships. Please know that this was not an easy choice for us to make but as they say, all good things must come to an end. Perry’s family as well as Jim, Diane and Paul are all extremely grateful for all of the support over these many years through the mail and at train shows and we will definitely miss each and every one of you.Starting 2026, although Perry’s Hobbies will be gone, we do look forward to still seeing and visiting with everyone at train shows.Please note that if you do have anything reserved with us, we will be reaching out soon to update you.

| We've known for quite some time that we have some of the best customers and friends out there. This has been proven to us even more each day since Perry's passing. All of the well wishes, condolences and wonderful stories that so many of you have shared with our family has meant SO much to all of us. Words can't express how grateful we are to each of you. Please know that when we say thank you, there are many, MANY other words of gratitude, love, emotions and appreciation to all of you that have helped us through this difficult time. So, THANK YOU from the entire Becker family. |
