Malcs Models

[James Eggleton-Akers]

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.

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.

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.

And I thought that the shop on Pelham Street was big...

Good to hear some positive news.

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.

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...

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.

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.

Ah, if that's the case, that's a relief! A great shop that I always call into when I am near.

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.
