New Model Shop in Earlestown, Newton Le Willows

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'd like to introduce myself. My names Andy and ive just opened a model shop in Earlestown on the outskirts of Newton Le Willows in Merseyside. As many of you are aware this area was home to the Vulcan Foundry. We opened on Saturday May 24th at 12pm and Mr Pete Waterman came along for the day and opened the shop and spent time with guests and customers chatting, taking pictures and signing autographs. We had a buffet and a charity raffle and raised just over £70 for a local charity. 

Ever since i was a child ive been interested in model railways and my dream was to open a model shop which i have now achieved. i have a 10 foot by 10 foot layout which is dcc sound and can be seen on my youtube: andyfriarsjunc

the layout is not at the shop tho as its too large.

Hope to see you all soon

Best wishes

Andy

Good news - not far from Wigan where we have no model shops at all.

 

Do you / will you buy / sell second hand models ?

 

I will call next time the Mrs wants a wander round nearby Earlestown market !!

hi brit15

 

look forward to meeting you.

we only have 2nd hand thomas in at the moment as well as new thomas. 2nd hand is something we will go in to in the future were still jiggling things around in the shop making the most of all space and cabinets weve got. there is a big market for 2nd hand and it is something we will be venturing into :)

 

cheers

Andy,

Might I suggest, for the benefit of those of us modellers who haven't retired yet and still have to work all day, that you might open later at least one day a week?  It'd give me a chance to pop-in on my way home from work, which I can't otherwise manage.

Regards,

Bob.
