All aboard for a well-read, well-collected space...
Visit Shop 111, where vintage trains, books, art, and a thoughtful mix of home accents create a shop that rewards a slow browse. A long glass counter holds the railroad collection, with Marklin HO gauge pieces, painted tin trolley and streetcar models in red and yellow, black steam locomotives, and boxed Marklin sets lined up alongside a model passenger airplane. Railroad enthusiasts will appreciate the depth here, from the rolling stock to the vintage packaging and printed ephemera that surrounds it, including "Triple Threat Baseball" board games and other mid-century curiosities sharing the shelf.
A walnut bookcase anchors one side of the space, packed with hardcovers and box sets that lean toward history, travel, and transportation. "American Railroads," "The Encyclopedia of Trains & Locomotives," and a boxed "Around the World" series sit alongside leather-bound volumes, vintage paperbacks, and red cloth-covered reference books. A carved wood Madonna bust with flowing hair adds a striking sculptural accent on top, while a conch shell, a Chinese calligraphy brush set in a silk-lined box, and a colorful "Live Happy" floral doormat bring warmth to the lower shelves.
Framed artwork hangs on a black wire grid panel nearby, with sepia-toned rustic barn and mill scenes and a matted pair of vintage bird prints adding character to the wall. A mahogany china hutch with lighted upper shelves holds shamrock mugs, a carved wooden bowl, a floral arrangement in a ceramic pitcher, glassware, and a black lacquer jewelry box. A rotating jewelry stand displays silver pendant necklaces on white busts. With its blend of vintage trains, books & art alongside jewelry and home decor, Shop 111 has a little something for every kind of collector. For more books, visit Shop 59 or explore the trains at Shop 514.

Shop 111 opens with a counter case of vintage optics, rifle scopes, a cobalt glass bear, and small collectibles, with a tower case beside it showing silver chain necklaces and pendant jewelry. Shop 111 layers a wire grid wall of sepia architectural sketches and botanical bird prints alongside a walnut breakfront stocked with a carved face wooden bowl, green shamrock mugs, black lacquer boxes, and a red enamel canister. Shop 111 fills an oak bookcase with vintage railroad books, travel encyclopedias, and history titles, topped with a carved wooden female bust, a conch shell, and a Chinese lacquer box, with a "Live Happy" hooked rug on the floor below. Shop 111 centers on a Marklin HO model train case with a red and cream trolley, orange interurban passenger car, and green steam locomotive, alongside vintage Marklin catalogs, a USAF diecast airplane, and a wooden cigar box.
