The most comprehensive model shop I have visited in a long time. A very good stock and knowledgeable and helpful staff. First class. Well worth a vist.

The Model Railway Shop
Just popped in to have a look, and had a chat with the owner who is very knowledgable and helpful. Needless to say I left with some really brilliant bits and pieces. I have got an amazing amount of stuff for a stunningly low price!!!! I will certainly be going back again. Thanks very much

Hatton's Model Railways Ltd
Super service and good value for money. Unfortunately one of the packages was damaged, but replaced by store and shipped to me without any problems, free of charge :-) Response to e-Mail was (Imho) pretty quick. I am happy with my order and will order once again as soon as I need something!

I have purchased a number of DCC decoders and associated equipment and find their product range, delivery service and after sales back up to be absolutely excellent.

Classic Rail
This is just an update to say that I visited today (9th June 2018) and the business is still as it ever was. I was only there half an hour but there were two other customers in that time despite the relatively rural location. I bought two secondhand locos, both in very good condition. One needed some TLC to help it run better, which the owner did there and then. His test layout is a real boon in providing reassurance.

Osborn's Models
I am about a couple of hours away from finishing my low relief dairy model, it has been very straightforward to make and is really beginning to look the part and will be a great addition to my layout. Maurice at Osborn's models was very obliging in changing it to Express Dairies to suite my layout and I have absolutely no problem in recommending them.

Osborn's Models
Ommunication not always good until I found confirmation emails in the junk folder. Haven't used them until recently but prices are reasonable and delivery is prompt, so no complaints from me.

The Locoshed Manchester
To repeat the comments bellow, an excellent shop.
Popped over today for my first visit and was really impressed with the amount of stock both new and second hand. You could look around with no pressure though plenty of help was available if needed. Prices were good too.
If you are in the area go and visit.

Olivia's Trains & Models
First time buyer, purchased a Hornby Class 50 from them. I was not disappointed when it arrived, five days after being sent out. A great looking model with fantastic sound.
Great communications with the staff, very helpful in answering my questions, and they seem to know their stuff.
Although this order was done via e-Mail, the price was fair, their website is full of goodies, and I might just pop in for a visit if I'm ever in Sheffield. Would absolutely recommend them.

Excellent service and very pleasant to deal with. I just needed a Lenz upgrade to both my LH100 and LZV100 units. The upgrade was done almost immediately and with a minor repair done also. Thank you Chris, much appreciated.

Topp Trains
Met Mike and his business partner at The Sutton Coldfield MRC Ex in April 2018. They are very friendly, superbly knowledgable and passionate about the hobby. They gave me excellent advice and sold me an absolute bargain set of _pristine_ lima / Dapol Exec Mk2Ds...Couldn't believe my luck. I also phoned them recently about a modelling, er, 'accident' and they were incredibly helpful. I need a fair few more things soon and I'll be going to them, no question, they are literally genius and they run an Alladin's cave. Super. These genuine, professional and sincere guys are exactly what this hobby needs.

K S Models
The real thing, friendly and knowledgeable owner and staff, good stock of available RTR and kits, spares, specialist detailing parts, tools, materials, paint, books; often has interesting and good quality secondhand items. Takes orders and persists even if it takes years to obtain supply! Could it be twenty years since my first visit? Never been disappointed.

I sold my railway collection to this shop - They offered me a good price which they stuck to on receiving my goods. They gave me a prompt, courteous and efficient service, which I would recommend and use again myself.

Generally aimed a railways but still good for tools, materials and books. Model kits selection is a bit limited. Mainly larger scales. Friendly staff worth a visit.

A very interesting little shop, tucked away from the main shopping area, but well worth visiting for a very diverse range of items stocked, including some quite obscure items. The owner is knowledgeable and helpful, and deserves to do well. Also has a website with an ever-Changing stock list for mail order.

World of Model Railways
The staff are very friendly and provide a smile! They have product knowledge, are very helpful and willing to spend time with you to make any decision. The stock of varying manufactures is quite diverse and prices are competitive. The model railway is quite a good attraction and maybe it ought to be free? It is sad to enter the shop, look around at what is available, then be attracted to the extensive model railway and then to be asked for payment to enter. I am aware that the model railway is full of action and requires maintenance, but perhaps look for another avenue of revenue to financially support it. It is an excellent attraction, in a tucked away venue in Mevagissey and well worth a visit, for families on a tight budget. I know that once children enter the shop, almost an Aladdin`s cave, they want to explore into the model railway!! Overall, for any railway enthusiast, modeller or a family of young children, it is a `must to visit` venue!!
