RMweb Gold russ p Posted February 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2018 Due my phone sat nav having a strange turn today I started on a random tour of Lincolnshire on a journey home from the Midlands. I remembered reading of a new model shop in Bourne Really good shop, excellent prices ,good range and stock and run by a very friendly knowledgeable chap. He informed me that shop will double in size in the future and that the website and apps for the shop will be updated very soon Well recommend a visitnif in the area 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted November 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2018 I now use DB Models as my regular model shop. Dan is very knowledgeable, friendly and goes the extra mile because if he doesn’t have it in stock, which is very comprehensive and competitive, he’ll do his best to source it directly from wholesalers or through his contacts. It’s not my closest shop but certainly the best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravensdmufan Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Another vote from me. Daniel is very enthusiastic, continually expanding his range of products. He is always helpful and his prices are competitive with the big "box shifters" - I am lucky that his shop is fairly local to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloaf Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Where abouts is the shop? Would be good to visit on one of my trips to butlins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted November 4, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2018 Where abouts is the shop? Would be good to visit on one of my trips to butlins Near the Tesco’s, take the turning for the industrial estate and recycling tip and Roman Bank is the second turning on the left, go right to the end your there. Your best giving him a quick call before going as sometimes he reluctantly closes the shop to get collections. Website is; dbmodels.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trains4U Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I had a chat with Dan at the weekend The DB models shop is closing (if not already closed) - the website has been cleared down. He will continue with selling used items online, but is exiting the new items market. Edited March 23, 2019 by Trains4U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted March 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2019 Staggered to hear that as the last time I was there, he said things were going from strength to strength. I think his closing is more to do with family issues rather than the shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamDaniel Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 There was a 'closing down' sale on the eBay store and I nabbed a few (new) bargains. I've messaged him a couple of times asking for a tracking code, but have not had a reply. Also phoned, but it went straight through to an answer machine. Reading recent eBay reviews, a few people haven't been sent the items they have won, either... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERS Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The charge seems to be very grandly titled and not totally clear what is actually alleged, but presumably the assets were disposed of and the creditors allege that the funds weren’t channelled into the business. As admitted above, at least one member on here seems to have been a recipient of said assets! I was sorry to see it go, always liked the shop, well stocked and a good selection of materials as well as the usual RTR stuff. They were knowledgeable, keen to help and very pleasant to deal with, not always the case with some other traders. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll put my black hat away then....I’d suggest you mind your own business and refrain from jumping in on someone else’s behalf. Rob - I read it as humorous and TBH, I think the chap is probably worried about bigger things than a few key-stokes on this place. Move along no lefties here :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
