Stevelewis Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Still a 50mile round trip for me, but Tims always helpful and he will test it before you buy never quibbles about a return either phil Next time you call if he is not busy, ask Tm about my very first order with him, It was for an LGB RhB Rallcar Around £700s worth, this was back in the early 90s, in those days the Parcel force driver attached their own labels in the vans and that day he was in a rush and had collected a number of parcels but not attached labels until later, Next day I got a Car Bumper bar delivered!...............It was clearly labelled with my address on the PF label, but the other dealer written address was clearly not mine!! It was eventually sorted out, but was good fun whist it lasted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Just been speaking to Tim at Arcadia and he tells me that he now has just 2 Farish Class 40 Sound on board locos remaining in stock, they have sold like Hot Cakes!

Stevelewis Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 The stock range at Arcadia is greater than the website suggests, I needed a couple of rolls of Woodland Scenics H0 gauge ballast underlay, so mentioned it to Tim a couple of days ago and was informed he stocked it, so they were duly despatched to me arriving next day an cost me exactly the same as the discounters, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

10000 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I frequently go in for some things and come out with completely different things. Went in on Wednesday for paint and scenics. Came out with the paint and an apple green A4 instead of the scenics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came out with the paint and an apple green A4 instead of the scenics. Its a bit like shopping in Home Bargains stores ( one of which recently opened close by) we go in for a couple of items and emerge with a dozen or so! Mind you like Arcadia the prices are always very beneficial, the other local supemarket's proportion of our weekly shopping expenditure has declined dramatically...….

Stevelewis Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 It was Tim who got me into G-Scale many years ago...….. Keith I was already into G scale when I discovered Arcadia, must be over 20+ years ago, my first order was an RhB Red Railcar about £650 in those days but around 15% less than the competition, if any one gets a chance in Arcadia ask Tim about that Railcar and a Car Bumper Bar!

Stevelewis Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Just ordered a couple of items from Arcadia Models. For information...….Tims website is kept up to date and shows what he ACTUALLY has in stock. anyone looking for items that others have sold out of may find it worth while having a look through the lists, also it is worth a phone call if an item being sought is not listed in the lists. 01706882900 ….. if ordering it is best to phone. There are also some interesting 4 figure items listed as well See Micrometakit Edited September 15, 2018 by Stevelewis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good afternoon, They do weathering via Craig Holt who also weathers for Sawyer Models. As for sound I cannot comment as I have never asked for this service.

bart2day Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Excellent friendly service by Tim and his wife. Very competitive pricing and orders are always extremely well packed. I can’t recommend this independent model shop highly enough. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
