    Possibly, but for instance I bought some Porthole coaches from there today at £22.50 each. They're marked up at £45 - both Rails and Hattons are showing as Sold Out. I feel as though they would have easily sold had they had a tenner knocked off, for example, and there was a bit more transparency on the reduced price. 

    They have been sell bits off since Christmas but the issue I think has been you can’t purchase Models on line and most of the normal stock was full RRP. The two model shops I use and support A Oakes & Mike’s Models do try to knock a bit off to encourage sales.

    Sad news today another retailer announces closure ...

     

    Ian Allan Birmingham are to close on the 1st of October, although this hasn't been widely disclosed as of yet.

     

    I model N Gauge and I prefer to purchase from a shop, can anybody suggest a good model shop to visit?

     

    Many thanks

    Best,

    Chris

    Most of the stock went at the weekend 14k worth of stock. 

    But I also popped in twice today between trains and the wallet is a lot lighter.

     

    Cheers

    Been in today still lots of buildings wagons coaches plus some Oxford locos with or without the rail gun. Still a large amount of Scenic stuff. The tubs of scatter at half price is a real bargain.

    Hadn't heard about that until now. A shame, as while I did pick up the odd bits and pieces from them I never visited it until only last year.

    Only found out today after having a look as my other half was shopping. 

    Very sad ☹️ 

    still loads of stock they even still have the Oxford rail gun with loco at half price!

    Just picked up two Bachmann 66's (Weathered EWS and GBRf Sence) for £123 from AOakes. 

     

    was only passing from Devon on our way to York's and dropped on them being left after 11am. 

     

    Excellent chat with staff too. 

    I had a pair too at £123 for two that’s just over £60 each for a weathered 66 is an absolute bargain. I purchased them at 9:30am when they opened and the staff said if I come back at 1:00 they would have different stock.

    Next Saturday Mr Oakes said it will be a half price sale.
