The only cabinet we could move to position just like yours. About half an inch too wide to get through from the front to the rear of the shop. Bought a two metre folding table, that worked. If you are looking for screens we bought self assembly ones. Very sturdy frame but only thin screen, that keeps the price down. £35 + VAT.  Fixed to counter etc with double sided tape. Free postage. Ask for the owner Phil, tell him we recommended him. Local to us, so we collected. Took two minutes to put together.

There is still work to do, and I’ll be adding stepped shelves,

 

 

 

 

Just seem this topic. wholeheartedly agree on the stepped shelves, this was a main feature of the now closed Gee Dee's in Nottingham. As a kid I dreamed of a 2 minute "run around" scooping locos off the stepped shelves as fast as I could LOL

 

Keep up the good work mate, the Hornby "Sherwood" is fab

Well it seems our shields are delayed (again) until Tuesday.

 

This means the counter service will remain in place for Saturday and Tuesday.

 

Hopefully we can open fully for browsing on Wednesday

Popped in the shop today, brilliant service as always, from the friendly and enthusiastic staff ! Picked up some modelling materials, and three Hornby. KFAS at a very competitive price.

 

thanks T4U.

 

The best and most established model shop, in Cambridgeshire! And beyond....

We generally have a pretty good range of quality second hand in stock.

 

During the Covid closure, we ran most of our stock out via eBay, and dramatically depleted our stocks.

 

I’m pleased to say, however, that since reopening, we’ve taken in a huge amount of stock and we are, again, bursting with stuff.

 

included in this us some pretty rare and hard to find OO items.

 

we like to give our customers a chance before any goes on ebay.

 

here is a selection:

Now if you tell me that the Heljan Kestrel is still there, I'll grab my card and my car keys and see you in an hour.

 

An impressive looking shop. You're not that far from me and it looks well worth a visit (Kestrel or not). Also I like the way you've handled C19- the instructions/ requests are clear and polite. Some places have really not got it right, with barking orders- even signs on the door 'sorry no personal callers today without an appointment'- fine, lose the sale then.

Following todays announcement, from this Thursday Trains4U will be reverting to a “Click & Collect” service.

 

We are anticipating keeping our phone lines manned during our usual opening hours, including Sundays.

 

customers are able to collect from our front door or choose an appropriate delivery method.

 

Click & Collect operations mean that we cannot allow customers inside, and orders must be paid for in advance (by phone or online) - there are no exceptions to this rule.

 

We will continue to do our best to keep our customers supplied and we look forward to your continuing support.

 

More detailed information will be posted as soon as government guidance and our operating procedures are finalised.

 

Thanks

Gareth
