This week, the top subject on our Facebook page is the following chair. You may have seen it on the shop floor. As we keep on getting asked why we have a chair, we have decided to explain the reasons. Click on the image to read them and join the discussion:
If you model modern image with electric engines, you can make a big improvement to your layout by having some catenary masts. They are usually enough to give the right feel to the scene without the fiddly aspect of tiny wires. These products from Dapol come in packs of 10 and are available for OO gauge and N gauge.
There are a few items that make the perfect train layout: a level crossing is one of them. There are numerous items available in OO and N gauge and they are very easy to install. The Peco system in OO gauge gives you the ultimate flexibility by allowing you to add as many add-ons as required to make the crossing as wide as needed.
They exist in N gauge as well:
They are also available in curved versions from first radius to fourth radius, in OO gauge, so your crossing can be anywhere.
If you want a bit of variety or if you prefer to build your crossing, various types of gates and barriers can be obtained in OO gauge:

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.
