Adrock Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 It was really sad news for me and my family to hear that Les had passed away. I grew up in Haslington and live close by, with my parents still in the village. I remember the first time I went into the shop around 1995 or 1996 with one of my neighbours and his Dad, it was like an Aladdins cave! I would have been about 10 at the time, and over the following years my Dad and I or my Grandad and I would go in to get the things I needed for my layouts. He was always so friendly and helpful, a true gent. I made sure to buy my engines from him when he was able to get hold of them and did manage to take my own eldest son into the shop a couple of years back. It’s very sad that Les wasn’t able to have a longer retirement, but I am sure that running the shop wasn’t like work to him, I think he loved doing what he did. Best wishes to the family and Rest In Peace Les. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
