About Us
Welcome to Denver Model Trains – a labor of love built on trackside dreams and a shared passion for all things model railroading.
We’re Orlando (OJ) and Annie, a husband-and-wife team who turned our hobby into a small business adventure. Whether you found us through one of OJ’s TikTok live shows or stumbled across our online store while looking for your next layout addition — we’re so glad you’re here.
Our Story
Our journey began long before we launched the store in early 2024. OJ has spent his entire career in the railroad industry, and his love for HO scale model trains dates back to childhood. Annie, with a background in accounting and business operations, joined in on the fun a few years ago, diving into the world of N scale modeling. What started as a personal hobby quickly turned into a shared dream: to build something meaningful together.
Who We Are
- OJ is the face of our operations, providing technical support to our customers and is also the heart of our TikTok presence, hosting frequent live shows under the handle @BigBoysTrainToys. He shares products, layout tips, and a whole lot of railroad enthusiasm. When he’s not packing orders or posting content, he’s often on the phone chatting with fellow modelers — many of whom have become great friends along the way.
- Annie handles the behind-the-scenes magic. From inventory to order fulfillment to keeping the books, she makes sure everything runs smoothy – despite OJ’s regular efforts to derail her. She also shares updates from her N scale layout on social media as @AnniesNScale.
Why We Do It
Model railroading isn’t just a hobby — it’s a way to connect, create, and share something truly timeless. Our goal is to make it easy and fun for enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels to find the tools and inspiration they need. Whether you're building your first layout or expanding your lifelong collection, we’re here to support your journey.
Thank you for supporting our small business and being part of our growing community. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to see where the tracks take us.
