Wasn't there a couple of weeks ago, think he had been suffering from ill health, only ever bought some Humbrol weathering powders from him.

 

Stall has a new trader, alas not model railways

Shame hope not permanent

Loughborough market place on Thursdays has regular model and antique/curio stalls, one of the regular model traders was also on the Saturday market last weekend. Diecast and Triang/Hornby including GWR clerestories for $7. I am on a self-denying ordinance not to buy tat I don't need, however inviting.

The Loughborough bric-a-brac on Friday has at least 3 pure railway stands new and sh well worth a visit in the town center Friday

One of the collectors stalls in Doncaster market has got a large collection of Bachmann and Hornby in this week. Top whack though which I wouldn’t pay on a stall. Model shops have guarantees.

The 26B group used to have one on Bury market for years, but i’m assuming it’s long gone.

I remember that as a young lad in the late 80s/ early 90s and buying old Lima models and getting them to test them for me in a grimy back room in the market! Had a western and a deltic if I recall. 

 

Theres actually a society shop in the yard at bury Bolton street station selling secondhand model railways out of an old grounded van that probably belongs in this thread!

Permanent as it is no longer listed on U.K. model shops.
