RMweb Premium MrTea Posted April 24, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Hi there, does anyone know where I might track down a Metcalfe Corner Shop kit I can mail order or buy online? (ref PO263). https://www.metcalfemodels.com/product/po263-00-h0-corner-shop-red-brick/ My daughter (9) is really keen to build one after watching 'Back in time for the Corner Shop' on iPlayer. I've tried all the usual suspects online (Hattons, Rails, Kernow, Cheltenham Model Centre etc.) but everywhere seems to be sold out of pretty much all kits. And I know from visiting the Metcalfe site that they're closed too. Any help much appreciated! Edited April 24, 2020 by MrTea Added URL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyJay Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hello Mr Tea, It's not the same as what you are after, but I have been hanging onto the 'Village Shop & Cafe' PO254, unopened, and I'm never going to make it. So it's yours if you want it. Gratis! You will have to come and collect though. I live about half hours drive from Reading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lockdown is eased up and we make a success of this one I might take you up on the Village Shop & Cafe in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did check your site and didn't see any - but I'd ordered 3 Parkside wagons from you by then! They arrived safely in Wednesday's post so I'm a happy bunny!

brian777999 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I am bit puzzled why Metcalfe are still closed. Surely posting things in the mail does not pose a hazard for their staff ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Not just closed because of Covid looking at their Facebook page. Looks like a total revamp of their building. https://www.facebook.com/MetcalfeModels/ Jason 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian777999 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 What about Superquick ? Their kits seems to be few and far between now too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
