A couple I have not been to before, but am looking to pay a visit to soon, so has anyone been to either? Are they worth the visit?
Firstly Railway and Barter Shop at Long Eaton. I hear they are a pretty decent bunch who run the place, and very friendly, and also that it has a decent second hand section. This is my main reason to visit as we are helping the nephew add a few bits and pieces to his layout, he is only 6 so second hand is fine.
Secondly Loughborough Model Centre at Derby. I only found out that they had a shop in Derby the other day, in the old Trainlines of Derby shop, something due to their Loughborough shop suffering a fire. The website don't show to much, looks like the listing don't get update very often, a lot of stuff is pre order and the special offers section has no listing at all. Again, is it worth a visit?
I do most of my shopping through Hattons online, and Gee Dee and Modelzone in Nottingham, as a comparison.
Cheers
