megamodelshop Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 It is terrible to hear that another model shop has been engulfed by Modezone and Hobbycraft! I am a big shopper of independant stores as myself and my husband own a model shop that is moving to the Hull area. We are in the process of negotiations to open a shop in Beverley so I would love to see you all there and keeping the indpendant sshopping experience alive. Yes some of you might see this as back handed advertising but I assure you that it isn't and I am passoniate about keeping all independant model shop alive and kicking!

That's an aim we generally share but as you say the post is not intended to be advertising I have removed the avatar which was a business logo and the hyperlink to your website.

APOLLO Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Come out of Paragon by the south entrance onto Anlaby Road, continue west past the Infirmary complex to a crossroads with traffic lights, then head south down Rawling Way until you see a large flyover smack in front of you. Head right (west) there and that's Hessle Road - 53A is at no 430 Turn right and a cinder path leads you to the shed. Sorry, couldn't resist - never did get to Hull Dairycoates !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isambard Kingdom Brunel Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Am going over to Hull this weekend is the 53A Model Shop still there? Their website is a bit out of date. Shame we weren't going next week, could have popped into the exhibition, but, I have to be on parade for Remembrance Day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLD Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 In Hull and surounding area choices are currently limited. At the moment we have: 53A Models, Hessle Road - dedicated Model railways only shop. Modelzone, St Stephens Shopping Centre (next to the railway station) - fair selection of RTR in OO and N plus variable range of accessories but expect to pay near RRP for everything. Hobycraft, Kingston Park - Hornby RTR sometimes at decent prices and suprizingly good range of tools/building materials/scenic products. Just Kits, Hessle Road - Radio Control Cars/Planes/Boats specialist. Does not stock railway specific items but useful for tools & materials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
