Miserable Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Does anyone know if Peco have a stockist in the Stoke-on-Trent area that actually carries stock of O gauge bullhead track. I'm after 5 yards, so mail order isn't an option! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Rail Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Why not MO? Tower Models Blackpool have a decent service - the majority of their trade is MO. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Cost - everyone charges the same postage as a full box, not unreasonably, most won't supply single lengths anyway. Inc. Tower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisis Rail Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hope you got sorted - lack of exhibitions not helping the sourcing of bits - pricing things up for an assault on 7 mill myself - it seems cost goes out of the window in this gauge.

Ian I'm hanging on in there for s/h (yep, cost! Especially the possible set of points) for a while after the card took a battering last lock-down, but at least I now know Hattons can do the biz. I entered the exciting world of O gauge at the last lockdown, the 'small diorama' for something to do just grewed a bit, after being OO and N. It's expensive, but you can make so much either from scratch or kits, or bits of kits, you get (I feel) an lot more bang for you buck - adding lights to signal kits etc is relatively easy, that sort of thing.. Always hide your credit card before visiting Wizard Models or Invertrain, they both have so many 'Oh isn't that cute, I must have one' things in 7mm... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
