narrowman Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm visiting York on Saturday 28th November. Has there been any changes in the shops from last time I went and never got to the shops - got distracted by Tornado at the NRM! Narrowman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stuartp Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Not sure if York Model Railway next to the station is still there, it was wanted for a redevelopment of the concourse by NXEC but that's presumably on hold. Monkbar is still there, as is the NRM shop if you want to pay full RRP ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggzuk Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 ...got distracted by Tornado at the NRM! Narrowman Watch out, no Tornado to get distracted by this time but there is a very beautiful looking Duchess of Hamilton there now, fully dressed up in 1930s streamlining.

RMweb Premium TheDukeOfWellingtons Posted November 23, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2009 The model railway and shop by the station entrance have closed. Monkbar Models is still there at the far end of Goodramgate and highly recommended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 ....... the NRM shop if you want to pay full RRP ! I'm in York too over the weekend ,but not everything is full price at the NRM, as I reported on RMWeb3 last Nov/Dec, they had some new G2a's at ??69 each in 2008, that's not RRP. Another thread also indicates some of the larger Posters are good (small) money too, and they don't fade quickly either. York, so many pubs, so few days, BTW narrowman have you looked at the Gig Guide http://www.yorkgigguide.com/ Penlan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wollastonblue Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I was in York over at the beginning of OCtober, and visited the Model Railway by the station, and the shop was thriving. Even stocking T Gauge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hadyn Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 If I remember and have chance I'll check on York Model Railway on Friday. Should have thought to look yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
narrowman Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 THankd for the info! I've ordered some stuff from Monks Bar, so I'll certainly be getting there this time! I didn't know about the Streamlined Pacific, but I did know about a steam run with Leander due to arrive at York @ 12.42 and depart @ 16.53pm! More distractions...

woodenhead Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Placed an order with Monks Bar Models at 15;50 today, shipped at 16:30 - lets see the post office keep up the speed and deliver it Monday - if they don't no worries. I should just have bought the item at York Model railway show at Easter but i prevaricated until they had just one 2H left in blue - it was that or a DJM 71 and i decided the 2H was more in line with what i am building.
