The Model Shop Hull
On several visits to Hull, I had the pleasure of visiting this well-stocked shop opposite the station with friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. They efficiently ordered special items in advance of my arrival, at reasonable prices. Since we lack a shop like this in Israel, I was glad of the opportunity to add great things to my railway layout. Highly recommended.

I have been using this shop since it first opened. Steve and Gareth could not be more helpfull and will do anything they can to help even when there is a shop full of customers. All the Locomotives and rolling stock are on display in glass display cases, however if you want to have a closer look then they will get the items out and test them for you. Prices are very close to the bigger 'Box-shifters' and do not fluctuate with demand, unlike some. The car can be parked right outside the door and there is always plenty of space. If any thing does go wrong with say a loco or piece of rolling stock then they will do everything in their power to put it right and keep the customer happy after all they want you to come back sometime. I've seen Steve and Gareth explaining the very basics to beginners, (probably) learning from the most advanced modellers as well as chatting with the every day average modeller such as myself, but whoever they are talking to it's as if they are talking to a real person not just another customer.

Arcadia Models
An excellent range of Continental and GB products that is regularly updated. Locomotive displays wall-to-wall. an "Alladins Cave" of goodies that will compel people to return time after time. Finally, and Tim and Stuart are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and efficient.

Junction 20 Models
A nice little shop within easy reach of junction 230 on the M25. (Hence the name!) The owner is always very helpful and prepared to offer advice and assistance where required. There is also a good selection of second hand items, which are very reasonably priced and change regularly, which is a good sign. The one 'down side' is that the shop doesn't seem to stock the full range of anything, so it can be a little frustrating to find that what you want is not in stock. However, the owner is always prepared to order the item you require, but that may be too late for some modellers who want it now, rather than in a week or ten days time!

I found the shop well stocked but due to a lack of space some items could not be seen immediately. I was able to purchase Peco fine scale (00) items not found in other Peco stockists. Helpful staff

Model World @ Oxford Ltd
I visited this shop for first time not long after it's opening. I was very impressed by the wide range of stock covering all the popular gauges, presentation and layout in the store, good stock levels and friendly service. The shop carries new products as well as a wide range of high quality second hand stock, all displayed in well lit glass cabinets. I am currently changing gauges and wanted to swap 4 mm stock for 7mm, I was warmly welcomed, received a reasonable price and am happy to recommend a visit. Free parking outside the store and easily accessible by bus from Central oxford

Monk Bar Model Shop
Very well stocked with a wide range of goods. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Always a 'must see' when I visit York and I have recently started to use them for Mail Order which they carry out very efficently. Not a cheap shop however but shops like this are becoming a rarity.

American Railroad Centre
I am a regular customer when in Cornwall and on every occasion I have visited the American Railroad Centre I have been greeted warmly. Although the shop is small it is bursting at the seams with stock. The proprietor is extremely helpful and his knowledge of technical detail regarding HO scale (the scale I work in) and all products available to the railroad enthusiast is excellent. The prices are reasonable and great value when compared to some railroad specialist shops, and if a product is not in stock at the time a quick order can be made.The shop is easy to find for those not local to Bodmin and I would thoroughly recommend a visit.
