Poggy1165 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's nice to give a plaudit to a trader when it's deserved. I ordered a Coopercraft O Gauge wagon kit from this company via Ebay mid/late afternoon Friday. To my amazement it arrived first thing Saturday morning. OK, some of the credit is undoubtedly due to the Post Office, but Modelmania certainly couldn't have dispatched the item any quicker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltic56 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I am glad that plaudits are given when due as it is all to easy to criticise and pull companies apart.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderforge Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Just to let everyone know, the shop is closed, and a note on the door says it has been since the 7th. The window shelves are still stocked with (albeit slightly sun-bleached) products, so it looks like it might change hands rather than be being completely closed down. (Ie there is still stuff in the window which would be gone in a closing down sale or removed to discourage theft if being sold off online). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ie there is still stuff in the window which would be gone in a closing down sale or removed to discourage theft if being sold off online). It is closed, but I when I was last there I was told that the stock is being kept and taken around the exhibition circuit for the next year and then a decision will be made.

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted July 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think it will close down completely with an exhibition stand doing the rounds. Shop unlikely to re-open based on what I've heard. Sad but that's the way of things..thanks to Brian for many years of happy shopping... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppercap Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Antics (Bristol, Stroud or Stonehouse) or Portishead? FYI, it's Model Railways Direct in Portishead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppercap Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Maybe will take a trip into Bristol city centre. Many thanks. What's it like in details? It's OK as a general model shop - plastic kits of all subjects, radio control, diecasts, paints and materials, tools and model railways - but as Graham456 points out, there's not an awful lot of it, so don't make a special trip hoping to stock up on lots of railway items!

37114 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 There is also Brunel Model railways at Clevedon, although last time I saw their trade stand at a show they seemed to have a lot of second hand Lima stuff as much as anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
