Meet the founder & owner of Brady's Train Outlet, John A. Brady!

Meet our Store Manager, Anne Zemba!

Anne Zemba has been working at Brady's Train Outlet since 2019. Anne got her first train set when she was 7 years old, a Tyco Bicentennial HO Set. Anne has a Master's Degree in library science and worked in a community college library before joining the team at Brady's. Anne was instrumental in building Brady's Train Outlet's website and transitioning from E-Bay to the Shopify e-commerce platform. Anne's favorite part about being store manager is meeting customers. Instead of helping library patrons locate books, Anne now helps customers find the trains and layout accessories that they've been searching for!
