MIB Models
This is a small shop but is packed with all kinds of model railway items. When entering you are greeted by the owner with the offer of tea or coffee and a smile. Help and advice is in abundance and what is more, his prices are excellent, if what you are looking for is not at hand, and it can be ordered, MR. Jenkins will be very happy to get it for you. I have found this to be one of the best model shops that I have been to and will always visit when in the area.

Silverhill Models & Toys
I started visiting over 30 years ago and it seemed to have been there forever then. I haven't been in for awhile but always peruse the window display when I walk past. There used to be an old shoe shop next door - roger apps. Happy memories.

Forest Of Dean Models
Really impressed by this little shop, the owner was knowledgeable and friendly, stock was exactly what I needed and will definitely be visiting again - the loyalty scheme is a good touch as well. Finally, where else can you buy a quarter of wine gums with N gauge track?! Inspired!

K.S's World of Models
Brillaint old fashioned model shop with plenty of parts, materials and other bits & pieces on dispay to browse through. Unfortunately now only open part of the week due to owner reducing working hours - I wonder how much longer it will last. Use it while you can - they don't make them like this any more.

Well worth the visit. I just went in for some advice and came out sold on the idea to adopt N guauge as the best for my needs. Also met a member of my previous employer and struck up a friendship of common interest.

Tooley's R/C Toys
First rate I went to buy something completely unsuitable for my abilities and needs. They spent great time diplomatically showing me different options and explaining the differences. I quickly realised my naivety and purchased a helicopter in line with my abilities but that still offered further challenges, and at least half the price. Thank you.

Upstairs Downstairs
Good range of oultines, and gauges, though concentrating on bachmann. Could do with more Hornby stock, but depends on wholesalers demands for excessive purchases! Helpful and charming. Under new management for last 6 months or so.

[Response from Retailer: "We stock a wide range of locomotives, wagons and coaches from various manufacturers such as Bachmann and Hornby as well as more specialist brands like Atlas, Kato, Rivarossi and Piko, however stock varies all the time based on customers' feedback and availability from the manufacturers. Please note that we are happy to order anything that we do not have in stock and usually get it delivered a week later."]
ModelZone
A wide selection of model railway stock & accessories, plus a large choice of die-cast aircraft, cars and motorcycles. Plenty of plastic kits available as well as a good variety of R/C aircraft, cars and tanks. Knowledgeable friendly staff and always well worth a visit, as they often have heavily discounted items on sale.

I used mike for quite a few years whilst I was running a camp site at st.Davids, and found him to be very helpful and a pleasure to talk to. He is very knowledgeable and helpful on modelling matters and has very competitive pricing. Since my retirement to southern portugal, I miss my visits to him.

Whipton Craft & Model Centre
Driving, you need approach the shop from pinhoe RD coming out of town ( Moving left to right left on the map), there is no access from the big junction nearby. Joining thackeray RD from pinhoe RD outbound is the easiest way, or at the main road junction be sure to stay in the left hand lane as the junction with thackeray way is about 30 feet before traffic lights. be aware of 20mph limits on all the small roads. Kids and speedbumps abound!

Westons Railways LTD
An excellent place for model railway goods (Either in stock or via special order) and advice. Andy weston is a mine of information and, through his knowledge of products from vendors such as graham farish, kato, etc, has been terrific in helping me with planning and building my n-gauge layout. Each trip to his shop results in yet more info and ideas and on the rare times there have been problems with goods and / or deliveries andy has taken full ownership to get them resolved.

I have used this shop almost weekly, owner very helpful and friendly, and has given me guidance and help with my new venture. The shop name is deseptive, but he has quite an extensive range of N gauge equipment, and will happly do orders. I always come out with something. Parking is easy as he is quite near the newgent centre so your partner and shop at M&S and many othe stors while I can go to KGR. A most useful local model shop
