Trains and Boats and Planes
Amongst the organised chaos in this small and cramped shop are excellent bargains, even compared to internet shops, and the service is good and knowledgeable.

The Model Shop
The staff here seem to know the problems rather than the solution. They are friendly enough, but not always apparently keen to help. Prices are VAT free, but no less than Hattons for example. Parking is not easy, either, and the shop seems old fashioned inside, and a large amount of space is given to non-railway models.

Wonderland Models
These guys really do specialise in all aspects of modelling. They have a huge range of radio control cars, rc planes, boats, rc helicopters and radio control tanks. They also have a whole department that deals with Hornby model railways, Scalextric and diecast model cars, buses, aircraft, motorcycles and tanks. They have probably the largest selection of plastic and wooden model kits in Scotland along with all the paints, glues and airbrushes to complement them. They also stock the full range of Papo, Schleich and Le Toy Van castles, figures and dolls houses.

Acme Model Products
Acme models has helped me from the start of my intrest in model railways. They have a large range of stock of most gauges from Z up to G scale. the staff are friendly and helpful and good humoured. They have recently had a refurb giving much more space to dislay stock. They have a large selection of good quality second hand stock and I would strongly recomend them. Younger modelers are encouraged here and they have a extensive knowledge of all their stock. They will repair any model you might have for a resonable price, there is ample parking and you are allowed to handle/veiw the stock, they will place orders for your needs.

RBS Ltd
I have been using rbs for over 30 years now. They are as good as you are likely to get. The quantity of stock is only exceeded by the amount of free advice while you shop.

Salisbury Model Centre
A great shop. It seems to have all those little things that you realise you need at the last stage of finishing a model, as well as a good range of lineside kits and rtr in n-gauge.
simon et al are also nice and friendly, and will happily get hold of anything that for some reason they may not have (which is not much).

A Oakes Ltd
Slightly unusual shop, family business ( old fashioned ? ) but none the worse for that. Good offers on engines, 20% off, as good as online. Mr oakes will order things specially for you. Has a digital display layout which was just hornby, but now has the dynamis system to try as well. Well worth a look in, saturdays are demo day for dcc.
as i said before always has good offers on engines and sets too.
