Granary Models
I try to visit the Granary modelshop each time I am nearby. It always costs me money !!!!! The prices are competitive, and with plenty of choice, particularly consumeables, like wood, plastic, glues and papers. Mary is always ready for a chat, so expect a long visit.

Model Junction
Excellent shop with a wide selection of locomotives, DCC, track, scenery, detailing parts, paints, tools etc. Helpful and friendly staff who offered me advice and demonstrated the products when I wanted to upgrade my DCC. Plenty of parking in front of the shop, really worth a visit.

I needed a n gauge GF class 47 to replace the running gear/body of my old 2nd hand dcc GF Rolland Hill which has given up the ghost as when I looked at it, problems with the wheels/gears etc. I ordered late Thursday night, and it arrived Saturday morning RM 1st class post. Great service and great price, thank you. Shell switched over, and my TPO now running like a good one.

Trident Trains
Owner Richard runs Trident Trains as a true model shop for the railway enthusiast. A keen model railway enthusiast himself, it shows in his attention to detail and customer service. All locomotives are tested in front of the customer on the test track prior to purchase. The shop is well stocked and carries the Bachmann, Hornby, Oxford and Dapol ranges as well as all the track, electrics and scenic items you would require.
The shop is located in the large Dagfields Emporium which in itself makes for a great day out, with ample free parking and places to eat and drink etc.

Tutbury Models
I arrived at the shop yesterday at 4.30pm to find it closed. There was a hand written sign on the door which stated that the closing time is 4.15pm Monday to Saturday. I had travelled many miles to visit this shop, which I am unlikely to do again, so I was extremely disappointed and frustrated. Please check with the establishment and correct as required.

Ashton Model Centre
It's always great to see a new model shop opening, especially one near to you. The guy who openeditast year is friendly, chatty, willing to discuss any type of model making and essays and is open to a good deal. It's not the biggest place around but it's certainly packed to the rafters with a fantastic selection of various brands of paints, glued, modeling materials etc. If he doesn't have it on the spot he's happy to search something out and order stuff in ( Within reason of course !).
I have been quite a few times now and he has remembered what I am doing, what scale I work in, what I boughtast time, and always shows .E anything that's new in that may be relevant to what I am doing. This is a warm, friendly shop with a knowledgeable owner who goes that little bit further than others. He shuts at 4.30p.M. But if your already in the place he doesn't chase you out. Well worth a visit if your anywhere near the area or even making a special trip.

Our Place
A surprising and excellent little shop. It always seems to have exactly what I need, a few tenting things I don't, and an extensive second hand shelf to boot.

I recently acquired an N gauge set that had been dismantled over 10yrs ago with 5 engines, Barry spent over an hour with going through the basics and testing the engines for me. Have had trouble procuring the IPA as chemists no longer sell it, got some off Amazon. Once I have completed the base support units I shall be back V. From Lichfield

Footplate
Went for a trip on Severn Valley Railway recently from Bridgnorth to Kiddieminster and came across the shop 100 yards from the station. Great model shop with loads of stock on display no pressure and left to browse at my leisure. Spotted used ERF artic lorry with Scottish branding in very good condition so had to buy for my layout. The owner said the shop was having a trader place at the Perth Model Railway show 23rd & 24th June. I would also agree web site not the best but wouldn’t put me of visiting again when in the area. The preserved railway is also well worth a visit.

H & A Models
I have dealt on a number of occasions with this retailer. The service is prompt. Items are exceptionally well packaged. Communication (Very important) is nonpareil, any problems with an order and you are advised straight away. This is beyond perfection, and sadly I cannot grant 12 twelve stars. Effort by this retailer rates at 110% plus. Many could and should learn from this. Buy in full confidence. He has the highest recommendation I can give with no compunction whatsoever.

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.
