(As I live reasonably nearby this is excellent news.) (Oh ! and as it means they will now be near the South West Mainline - they will have an excuse to release a 4-COR ! ) Edited March 9, 2019 by phil gollin 6 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteN92 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Fantastic news, between this new branch and Alton Model centre I'm now going to have two quality model shops relatively close by. Pete 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted March 9, 2019 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 Quote We are pleased to announce our most ambitious venture to date – we are opening a new branch of Kernow Model Rail Centre in Guildford. We expect to open on 1st May with a range of special events during the week to celebrate. We have the full support of the major manufacturers and model railway magazines, most of whom will be represented during the opening week of events. We will be looking for additional staff to become part of the team and work in our new shop, which will be located on Stoke Road. We would be delighted to receive CVs for full or part time staff to be based at the Guildford branch. Please send them to sales@kernowmodelrailcentre.com. All mail and web orders will continue to be dealt with from our Camborne shop, Guildford will be for personal callers only. We chose Guildford as this is an area that is very familiar to us with regular exhibition attendances in the area. We also have a large customer base who already use our mail order service and, through our research, there is a lack of any dedicated model shops found in the surrounding area. Chris Trerise, Managing Director of Kernow Model Rail Centre, said “It is vitally important for the future of our hobby to attract new modellers and this can only be done by having a physical shop to showcase the vast range of products available. Our Guildford branch will build on the success of our Camborne shop in having working displays and knowledgeable staff to assist” The shop will be located at 75b Stoke Road, Guildford, A GU1 4HT, currently this is Pedal Pushers, as shown in the image below. We will update this page with more information about the opening and the refit as we have it! 22 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AY Mod Posted March 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2019 Nice news, this must mean that the Camborne 'quart in a pint pot' has finally burst its banks and a Home Counties strategic reserve has been brought into commission. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Oddly Google highlights the location with a store called 'loco' which happens to be part of NISA independent Grocers - I presume the shop next door has maybe recently changed hands too but what an interesting coincidence.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted March 9, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2019 Coincidentally and somewhat slightly irrelevantly, (and irreverently), Guildford has just come top of a Zoopla survey for the highest number of £1million plus houses in the UK, and 5th highest average house price, so well done to Mr Trerice for excellent market research, there's money to be had in the area!

I was wondering what the reference to fish and chip shops and bike shops in the recent Kernow emails was about. See, I do read them, honest. Even the bad jokes.
