L49 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 If you are looking for a good model shop generally, who I believe may have some LT RTR stock in, then I would try the engine Shed in Leytonstone high road. It's a great shop, and if you are interested in London railway bylines, then it is an enjoyable journey there and back either on the Central Line or the Gospel Oak-Barking.

tomstaf Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 If you are looking for a good model shop generally, who I believe may have some LT RTR stock in, then I would try the engine Shed in Leytonstone high road. It's a great shop, and if you are interested in London railway bylines, then it is an enjoyable journey there and back either on the Central Line or the Gospel Oak-Barking. I last called in a couple of years ago and only about 50% of the shelves had stock. Is it back to being a buoyant shop again? Cheers Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU_fan Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 jonhall: I didn't think about that. I'll be there for a week, and i don't think it could hurt to ask. (Edit: I just sent him an e-mail asking if that could work. Now we wait.) jools1959: How do you mean? tomstaf: I might just do that. It might be a hell of a lot easier on my wallet if i didn't, but i might. L49: Just checked them out on Google, and it looks like quite a nice shop. Reminds me a little of my local model railway shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU_fan Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well guys, i'm back! Sadly neither Ian Allan or The Engine Shed had any LU models, but luckily i had reserved what turned out to be the last IoW dino set of 1938-stock cars at the LT Museum. So i didn't come home empty handed. Edit: Oh, and i also met up with John and exchanged chassies. So just one day after i bought them, my cars were powered! I just have to prep them for DCC and convince a Tenshodo-hating friend of mine to help me install it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LU_fan Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Indeed! And better yet, the friend i mentioned has agreed to help me out with the DCC installation, and as it turns out he might even have one or more old Lenz decoders at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
