We are closed Saturday 1st August due to the Old Town Live event

We get asked a lot about stock availability on our website, whether what's on the website is actually in stock and ready to ship.

Our website only displays items that are actually in the shop. And if 'Sold Out' is showing, then we've had it in the shop and very recently sold out. Nothing on our website is stored or shipped from a warehouse facility elsewhere.

With regard to how up-to-date the stock levels shown are...they're pretty much real-time. Our in-shop EPOS (Electronic Point Of Sale) system is directly linked to our website, meaning if an item is sold in the shop, it's reflected on our website within a matter of seconds. Please be aware, though, that you may need to refresh your browser to reflect the change.

Feel free to phone us to double-check stock availability, but hopefully, this little nugget of information will help, especially if you're shopping 'out-of-hours'.

Thinking of selling? If you do have an item or collection that you’d like us consider taking on, just get in touch with us, and here are some useful pointers to get the ball rolling. - We'll evaluate the items free of charge, with no obligation on your part to accept our offer - Preferably email or WhatsApp us first with a list and photos to give us an idea of what you have - We'll then let you know if it's something we're interested in - If it is, the next step is to arrange getting them to the shop - Please note, we'll need to test working models so please be willing to leave them with us, and our turnaround time is very workload dependant Looking for something? Head to our 'Model Railways, Pre-Owned' area for our current locomotive stock. And we have a lot more rolling stock and accessories in the shop, so phone for more info or pop in for a good browse.
