RMweb Premium ColinK Posted July 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2017 I've been to Arcadia today, even though Tim is at home resting, you still get the same warm welcome and great service. Came home with a nice bag of goodies, Hornby D400, a wagon, glue, sanding sheets and long strands of grass. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted July 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2017 Arcadia is a fantastic shop . I've only been there twice as regretably not really in Oldham area any more. The very first time I was there I was offered a cuppa! Ended up buying a P2 . But loved browsing the huge range of stock. We could do with an Arcadia up in the real north (Glasgow) . Best wishes to Tim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevelewis Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I have to agree ARCADIA is a great shop which I support whenever possible, I first bought LGB many years ago and over the years many Big Boxes used to arrive here, these days its much smaller boxes, but very often the boxes contain items the other retailers have not got ( or never bothered to stock in the first place), I look forward to Tim's return Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

10000 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 In yesterday to get a D400. In again today to return it and get a replacement to find Tim in the shop this morning. He is looking fine so anyone who doesn't know what happened would never realise. Karen has allowed him in for a couple of hours to chat to customers and take money but nothing else. Nice to see him there. Karen and Trevor are doing a great job with the shop (and the cuppa service) so no worries there. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradley.mcmullan Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's full steam ahead at the mighty Arcadia Models, Shaw-I thoroughly recommend this fantastic shop with a HUGE range of models and bits and bobs, the staff are universally nice and you're always met with a brew and a friendly chat-it's so refreshing to visit a shop with a friendly vibe and I would not spend my pocket money anywhere else!.. Tim the boss and Mrs Tim are on hand and at your service and it's business as usual :-) cheers all :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Karen has allowed him in for a couple of hours to chat to customers and take money but nothing else. The only therapy Tim needs, no idea how he manages to part me with more than the planned cash everytime I go in :-) Edited July 25, 2017 by black and decker boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well Tim has managed it again and we are now the proud owners of a Golden Valley Janus shunter. Top class service with a smile and cup of tea as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rue_d_etropal Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I recommend anyone visiting the area, to visit. Who needs big shops, when Tim has shown that you can fit so much into a small one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted December 20, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 20, 2017 It’s by far the best stocked shop I’ve come across , and despite being a stranger I was offered a cuppa too. These are the shops we need to cherish. Just wish we had one up here in Glasgow . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Farish Class 40 SOUND in stock as of today, price same as the big discounters, best to phone to order as Tim is rather busy and cannot answer emails.

mark axlecounter Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I use to help out sometimes when Tim and Stuart was busy ( Stuart did the mail ordering and serving customers ) I use to make brews and run up and down the stairs for stuff. I remember I made a brew for a regular, he asked for a sweetener I thought I put one in but it turned out to be a mini mint. when word got out i had done that the regulars always remind me SWEETENER . Stuart passed away about 6 years ago he was a good friend and he always had time for people. Mark Towers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
