Stevelewis Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Tim has asked me to confirm that he is still trading via Telephone orders, I can confirm that the service is excellent I have placed a few orders over the last few weeks, His cut off time for same day shipping is around 1-30 pm usually but I ordered an item ( a Digital system) at 3-30pm on Friday it was delivered at 8-00am Saturday. Tim has a lot of items in stock which are hard to find, his website is kept up to date, BUT there are lots of other items in stock not listed, so worth a phone call.

Arcadiarail TEL 01706882900 ( usually closed all day Tuesday) Shhh don't tell everyone that, I got the last Farish headcode 40 from him recently, I've not had chance to see what else he has, though I did spot a possible Dapol 50043 unrefurbished on the site - I've already got one, but they are hard to find now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevelewis Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Surprising as it may seem I have never actually met Tim or visited his shop but over the past nearly 20 years must have spent a small fortune, especially when I was buying LGB items when I was into Garden Railwaying, one of my sons did pop in to collect some LGB a couple of times when he was in the area, but apart from that it all been through the post. If you are looking for hard to find or 'sold out' items its worth a phone! call Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevelewis Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 TIM has asked me to remind Modellers he is trading Via Telephone Mail Order and phone/click & Collect 01706 882900 Closed Tuesday usually His online listings are usually very accurate, and there are many items available which may be sold out elsewhere, always worth a phone call if you are looking for something not listed (eg PECO TRACK) I have no connection with the shop, just a very satisfied customer over many years I ordered again yesterday Friday at 3-00pm ( a multi product order) and it was delivered Saturday at 8-20AM 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 I was reading on here about increased pricing etc for the things we need for our hobby, but there are bargains around.........Arcadiarail had 3 Bachmann 0-6-0 BR (late crest) J11s in stock DCC on board, £92, now he only has 2! There are some other bargains listed also. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittannia Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Tim (Arcadia] always sells his stock at the price he sets at time of delivery when new, therefore, there is always the chance of getting a bargain, as the post of Stevelewis highlights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
