James Eggleton-Akers Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Went into Malcs Models in ilkeston on Friday for only the second time. I have to say that it's got to be the best model shop I've been to. The owner is a lovely chap and offers good service, there is plenty of selection and all items are very well priced. Even treated myself to a Hornby Fowler 4F. Really hope there is one equally as good in norfolk when I do move. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGP Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Just to add that from November 2020, Malc's Models moved from their Pelham Street shop just off the bottom of Bath Street, to a larger shop in the main footfall halfway up Bath Street (or halfway down depending on which way you are facing). The shop is now directly opposite Wilko's but due to restrictions has not been able to open properly since the move. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 I have been over to Malc’s a couple of times in the past two weeks. It is indeed a proper old school model shop. I got everything I needed. Cheers, Ade. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 18, 2021 Forgot to add there is 30 mins free parking on the street a little bit down the hill from the shop. I found a space ok each time I went even on a Saturday afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fezza Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Yes it is a fantastic shop with quite a bit of secondhand to look through. There is so much there that the 30mins free parking might not be enough... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutbrook Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 There is 2 hours free parking on the roof top car park of Wilkos (if you can find it), that should just about give you time for a quick browse around the shop. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fezza Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Is Malcs Models still operating as normal as a high street store? I turned up early Saturday afternoon and the shop was all shuttered up despite supposedly opening until 4.30 on the noticeboard. There was no information about the closure.

Probably shut because they are at the Bristol show this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted October 14, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 14, 2023 Visited Malc’s Models today as I was in Ilkeston for brewing supplies, home brew stores being as rare as model shops these days, Ilkeston has both! I’d seen Malc’s at shows but not visited before. Extensive stocks in N, TT120, 00, 0, G scale, plastic kits. Well recommended. Kato N stocked , also 009.
