sawyermodels Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 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 Sawyer Models address for shop: 27 Bridge Street Earlestown Newton Le Willows Merseyside WA12 9BE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd give me a chance to pop-in on my way home from work, which I can't otherwise manage. Regards, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
