Hello,
Another great picture from Robert Maidment-Wilson. This time it comes with a question: "And this week’s oddity is...well, I’m going to see how many folks can identify it (no Googling, please!). Further details on how he built this engine and the opportunity for you to say what engine it is on our Facebook page. Simply click on the picture to get there.
Metcalfe has released a few more of their great card kits in OO gauge. This time they are an island platform building and a set of market stalls. Click on the pictures for full details including exact dimensions.
Sometimes an engine keeps derailing while there is nothing wrong with the track. This can be caused by an incorrect back to back setting (the distance between the wheels). We do have handy tools to check them for you, both in OO gauge and N gauge. We also have them in P4 and EM, simply contact us.
OO9 is a great scale with the space saving aspects of N gauge, the details of OO gauge and some quirky and unusual models. Take for instance these three coaches, based on the real ones at the Glynn Valley Railway.
Finally, we never have too many flowers and grass tufts on a layout. Warlord Games is mostly unknown from railway modellers as they focus on wargaming items, however they are also doing scenic products which would be at home on any layout. The big advantage is that they are different from the usual brands. Here is a small selection.
Send us an email or give us a call to check availability or to reserve anything, whatever scale you model in. As usual, if we do not have in stock what you are looking for, we will order it for you and you will get it fast (usually within a week if the manufacturer has it in stock). We place weekly orders with most suppliers.
Remember, you can park for free for one hour on the High Street and for as long as want on the Esplanade. So no excuse not to come and visit us!
Upstairs Downstairs is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am till 4.30pm and Sunday 1pm till 4pm. We are closed only on Monday.
