Hello,
A few weeks ago, we showed some pictures of the layout from Lee Best and his son Magnus. They have been kind enough to send us another batch of pictures. You can see all of them on our Facebook page. Simply click on the pictures below to be taken there.
We know that most people like games. And we also know that everyone loves bargains! We have decided to combine both by offering you bargains that are fun to get. Basically, we have open a bargains section on the website and have added some items which are available only through reverse auction.
If you are not familiar with the term, here is how it works. Each item has a start price and every few minutes, the price is reduced. If you buy an item, you pay only the displayed price, so the more you wait, the lower the price but obviously there is a risk someone will buy it before you.
For obvious practical reasons, auction items cannot be purchased from our shop and are online only. Please note we usually have only one of each item.
Simply click on the pictures below to see a couple of the items which are available at the moment:
This is the time of the month when the latest issue of the free magazine is released. As usual, you can collect it from the shop or we can post it to you. In this month's release:
- Review of new items (engines, coaches, ...)
- How to build baseboards
- Basic layouts (8 different variations based on an oval) - highly recommended
- Should we have more girls in the hobby?
- Real location or imaginary place?
- Get started in the garden
- History of Hornby
- Readers questions
- And a lot more!

Whatever the size of your layout, you rely on the track carrying enough current to power the trains. This track tester will tell you whether you have enough or not and will help troubleshoot issues. It works on analogue and DCC and is compatible with OO et N gauge.
Chains are present in lots of places on a layout: on cranes, in yards, etc... They are also great items to have if you are doing any scratch-building. We carry several sizes in stock. Click on the pictures to see them all.
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. 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.
