If you don't mind a little drive, there is a train hobby store in Spencer where the Railroad Museum is located.

Down in Lancaster SC, this model railroad under construction that is looking to recreate the former passenger rail system that ran there is interesting. Many don't know about it.

Also check Carolinas RC if you're looking to get some track time with an RC car or truck (offroad or dirt oval).
