RMweb Premium TheQ Posted August 21, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 21, 2019 Well our show has been the first Saturday in October for some years, I don't know if the O gauge, gathering have changed their date or thought it was a different market and didn't matter...

From my infrequent visits to this gathering, it was always later in October. I recall it clashed with the BRM Peterborough show two or three years back.

paulaspinell Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'd recommend Buoys toys & models, 30 Louden Road Cromer(opposite tourist centre & main car park) GE models/Bure Valley/Hunstanton models are well recommended. Auto loco in Sheringham looked rather sad last time I was there(about 2 years ago) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sit back in head office and wait for someone to send in advertising blurb. Or for a member of the public to phone in with a report of an incident .often wrong..

RMweb Premium PMP99 Posted October 13, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 13, 2019 Smiths in Sheringham was being fitted out last week when I passed by. Opens shortly - I think the notice said the 19th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall pop in and wish them well at least. Knowing me, I'll come home with something I didn't know I needed... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulG Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 It will be very interesting how he pitches the shop, which was mainly for model boats in later days. With Bure Valley Models at Aylsham, Model Scenic Supplies and Buoys Toys and Models in Cromer all of which are very good model railway shops each targeting different aspects of model railways, he has a hard task with his new shop.

RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted July 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2021 I called in to Smith’s a few weeks ago while visiting the North Norfolk Line. Bought a load of trees for the layout. Nice shop and friendly staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 88C Posted November 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2021 We had a day in Sheringham today and was surprised to find the shop open. Glad it was even though it cost me, I found some coaches that I wanted, used, but ideal. A good little shop offering friendly service, I wish James all the best for the future. A good day out which certainly blowed away the cobwebs when walking along the sea front. Brian. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
