John Clitsome Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 This is my local LMS run by Martin Smith and have been a customer for 15+yrs since getting back into the hobby. I have a birthday coming up and contacted Martin to see if he could source me Princess Elizabeth - 6201. When he went to the shop, which of course is 'closed', he contacted me and said he had one left. We sorted payment and the best bit was that he personally delivered it to me!! That's why your local LMS is so important- they'll often go the extra mile for people they personally know. But don't always expect them to price at the box shifter figures. Nevertheless Martin is still competative. I thoroughly recommend him and his staff. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebem Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Been shopping here with my dad since it was based in Coalville, popped in recently for some n gauge stuff, highly recommended. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dragonfly Posted September 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 7, 2020 Very nice shop, knowledgable staff, plenty of stock (and good value second-hand stock too). Dropped in when I was in the neighbourhood a couple of weeks before lockdown. I was sure I recognised Martin from the local garden railway club years back, but wasn't quite sure enough to say hello. So there's good knowledge from larger scales and proper trains with real fire in their belly as well then! Not many shops can boast that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invicta Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Another long-time customer right back to the days of the Coalville shop (albeit with a very long gap while I was living 180 miles away), and definitely to be recommended- I've had quite a few secondhand bargains from them in the last few years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
