Model trains. Remote control cars. Board games. They all have a spot on the shelves at Time Machine Hobby in Manchester, an aptly named shop not far from Broadleaf Apartments that's geared toward hobbyists of all types. The store has been part of the city's landscape since 1999, and some of its old-school toys and games date back much further in time.
That's why Time Machine is such a fitting moniker for this beloved local spot. Come here if you're looking for a piece to add to your collection or just a unique game to give as a gift. The friendly employees that run the store will be more than happy to help you find whatever you need. You can also swing by for one of the regular events, like the Friday night games of Magic: the Gathering. Just bring your own standard deck to join in the fun. The model trains run on the first and third Sunday every month, so make sure you don't miss your chance to check them out, either.
