Nitro Hobby and Craft Center was already a respected hobby and craft shop when we purchased it in October 1993. The store is located at 104 21st Street in historic Nitro, WV. Our goal was, and still is, to meet the needs of our customers. We strive to maintain complete lines of the best products available and offer our customers the finest service possible.


In order to meet our goals we opened a second store, West Virginia Hobbies and Crafts, in October 1996. West Virginia Hobbies and Crafts is located in the Putnam Village Shopping Center in Teays, WV - just three minutes off I-64.


Both stores carry a large selection of hobby and craft items. On the hobby side we are authorized dealers for Lionel, MTH, LGB, Marklin, Walthers and carry a full selection of model trains in Z through G scale. We always have the latest releases from Proto 2000, Athearn, Spectrum, Atlas, Kato and many more. We have a large selection of model cars and military models from AMT/Ertl, Tamiya, Revell and more. To finish your models we stock the complete lines of Testors, Floquil and AccuFlex paints and adhesives as well as Xacto tools. We also carry a large selection of radio control planes, boats, cars and accessories at West Virginia Hobby and Crafts.

Our crafts departments are full of names our customers know and trust. We have a full line of art supplies, including Delta Ceramcoat and Grumbacher paints and Robert Simmons brushes. We also have colored pens and pencils. We carry many kits and supplies for school projects such as Styrofoam shapes, poster board and tempera paints. For the craftsperson who likes to work around the house we carry clock kits and clock works, a wide selection of fabric, cross stitch supplies and artificial flowers. We also carry many decorative flags, banners and plaques.
