Couldn’t see this anywhere. This is only a few miles from me and has been there a few years now.

 

It has very good reviews on ukmodelshops.

 

Been loads of times over the years. Martin and his dog are very welcoming. Only a small frontage but the amount of rolling stock held is phenomenal in the space available. Literally floor to ceiling in new and rare used.

 

Hundreds of discontinued Oxford, cararama and classix cars lorries and buses too.

 

Worth stopping by.

I shall be in the area the first fortnight of August and it will be a chance to revisit Pontefract where I was evacuated to live with relatives in 1941-43. Can you give the exact address of the shop in case I get the chance to visit it?

Be prepared for a conversation with Martin!

And be prepared to wade through a lot of run of the mill stuff but he normally has quite a few hidden gems in stock. It's just a matter of finding them.

Is all well at this model shop? Hadn’t seen Martin in a few months and had a day off so went down. Shutters down and no answer from the mobile number? Thanks 

He occasionally shuts to do errands in opening hours and isn’t great at answering the phone but yes it was ok a month ago and he’s the same as ever. Will be open today 2-4 I think. If someone could confirm all is well that would be great though...
