narrowman Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Anybody know of a model railway shop (or model shop) in Bury centre? Google seems to think Bury St Edmunds is appropriate! My usual coach trip to the weekday market, so anything would need to be in walking distance... I assume the railway through Bury is the same line that goes through Bolton?

narrowman Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Having looked at a modern map, I see that you no longer can get to Bury from Bolton by train! I must have travelled by steam train in the early 1960s then? Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CullingworthGNR Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 There are no model shops in Bury town centre, other than the 2 on Platform 2 of the East Lancashire Railway (both open at weekends only). The Locoshed in Whitefield is right next to Besses of the Barn tram stop though, directly accessible from Bury. It has everything a modeller could ever need - highly recommended.

Jonlexus1000 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 There's a model shop in Daisy Hill, Westhoughton, Bolton..! Found it by chance yesterday! It opened a few weeks ago according to the guy who runs it. Some good stuff, and although he didn't have what I wanted (a ZVEZDA KV-2) he has ordered it for me after a small deposit! The name on the flyer I picked up is: MJR Models & Hobbies, 11 Hindley Road, Daisy Hill, Westhoughton, Bolton BL5 2JU: Tel: 01942 386790: website: www.mjrmodelsandhobbies.co.uk. The email address is mike@mjrmodelsandhobbies.co.uk Hope this helps somebody out.. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
