Kernow Model Rail Centre
Whilst in Guildford on Sat 18 June I made a first visit to this very new shop. Upon entering I was very impressed as this a very good railway modelling shop and well stock with not only ready to run but also all the accessory items such scenic materials; paints; adhesives etc. Staff very welcoming, friendly and pleased to have a chat. I did find it a little difficult to locate and would suggest to any potential visitor to have a good map. Once found no problem to return to town centre. Well worth the visit.

Tony's Trains of Rugby (Formerly Barby Model Rail)
For a small shop it just about stocks everything thats needed for the railway moddler including a good selection of 2nd hand rolling stock. Price wise it`s veryif not more compatitable with on line sales plus of course there`s the human touch if ya wanna know just ask at the counter . Now on top of all that if it`not in stock just bell tony and he will get it in ready for you to collect or he also do`se mail order. Personally I try and visit roughly 2/3 weeks cause there`s always something surprising in store.

Mech Models
Very helpful team, offering a brew on arrival (always appreciated), and happy to leave you browsing. Barry demo'ed the loco I wanted and offered to look at a loco I'd bought from them last year which was proving temperamental. There's no pressure to buy, and he was advising a telephone customer on suitable locos while I played with my new acquisition.

Steve Flowers Model Supplies
Its a good thing that parts are available to restorers but the postage charges are extortionate and a real deterrent to buying more than the bare minimum.

Many thanks. I will certainly by buying from Scograil again.

Mona Models
Mona models in my opinion is definitely worth a visit, I found the owner to be very helpful with a good understanding of modeling and the products, for a new shop there is plenty of stock of railway items also of other types of plastic models and scenery products, I found the owner to be most helpful in ordering items he didn't stock, to me this shop is well worth a visit.

The Model Railway Shop
Pleasant little shop that sells exclusively OO, but appears to have a large stock. Martin is extraordinarily helpful and very easy to chat with, even though as an N gauge modeller I wasn’t a prospective purchaser. The shop also offers a repair service at very reasonable cost, which is why I went. An unexpected gem and handy for the station too!

Hornby Hobbies at Hamleys
Very basic stocks of trains, kits and supplies on the fourth floor of this enormous toy store. Prices are high (It is on Regent Street in central London) and selection is somewhat limited. Worth it if the kids are looking at other items but will cost you.

Derails Models
Having been let down by another well established large retailer over a long established pre-Order. I searched round for the loco I was after and was delighted to find what I wanted on Derails website. I had a problem completing the order on line and emailed them about it. I had a swift response telling me it was out of stock, but they would contact the manufacturer to see if any were still available. To summarize they got me one at a price lower than that previously pre ordered elsewhere. Told me when to expect delivery and by whom, which it duly did. I'm delighted and will use them again. First class service.
