RANGERS Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 MB used to have a retail outlet in Grantham I believe but I've no idea if they're still there. They regularly do toyfairs around the East Midlands - Spalding, Lincs Showground etc - and several exhibitions. A call to them would confirm where you could see them. I've bought items from them in the past although not spares, I've always found them to be helpful and in my limited dealings with them, a reputable trader.

CUTLER2579 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 MB Models have some window space in a cake shop owned by a relative in Welby Street,Grantham.However Bill lives at Whatton some 10 miles along the A52 towards Nottingham and Bingham.He is a very approachable guy and a phone call should sort you out for Lima spares,chances are if he has not got it no one has.No connection other than a customer before I switched to 7mm.Sorry can't find phone number.

Sam Moss Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 If its Lima spares then I'd seriously just browse ebay for cheap complete loco's. Last time I saw MB at a toy fair he wanted £10 for Lima armatures. You can pick a complete loco up on ebay for not much more. His prices aren't exactly "cheap" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Endacott Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The prices are cheaper now because at the age of 84, Bill Mossop has decided to wind up the business, sell off the remaining stock and take a well-earned retirement. Geoff Endacott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUTLER2579 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Geoff, I am amazed to find out that Bill is that age,I know him well living near to him,but thought he was about 75. He is a good man for his age by any standard. I too wish him well in his well earned retirement. Regards, Derek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader 36001 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A recent email enquiry from me to MB models for some Lima parts resulted in a reply stating that the business had been sold to Peters Spares of Middlesborough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
