Agreed and well put Paul, if you have a local shop then those bits are best bought from them. Sadly no outlet here, nearest accessible to me by train is Stevenage which makes a nice trip out as there is a Micro/Craft Pub (The broken seal tap room) just round the corner.

No model shop in Cambridge.

My nearest ones are Stevenage (good for Kato), BSE (some G scale stocked), Ely and Peterborough. Redfin in Baldock good for RC and adhesives. Further afield is Ipswich (Scograil)....

Have you asked..he has ..a starter set in the window,,he has a few items in stock , waggons ,bit of second hand track as well , but he can order stuff in for you ,
He has a fantastic collection of diecast cars ect ,usefull to us, plus plastic, glue, tools ect..not having a go,/dig, just trying to explain..

To be honest, I just went by his website and there didn't look to be much on offer. For me, its also about after sales care, or fitting decoders etc, that sort of thing.

I think there were a couple in Cambridge around the turn of the century I believe, we visited one when I was building the Ruschbahn but that disappeared before I moved to the nitz.

Yes there was a few when we moved to Royston. I'm not so keen on RedfinTBH, they never seem to have what I want! Last time I looked for the one in Peterborough, I couldn't find it at all! Admittedly I didn't have much time, and it wasn't where I thought it was, so hopefully it hasn't gone. The one in BSE is good, if you're lucky you can park opposite.

Bury St Edmunds, right in the town centre. A good little shop as Gizzy says. A smashing town to visit, and one of the smallest pubs I've seen

Thanks Gizzy , never found the shop when I visited but did find the smallest pub. Second visit went to one of the Brew Pubs and Spoons (tick). In my stupidity thought that BSE was name of shop, I guess we all know who GRS is! Oh and yes the bike shop that does Model Railways upstairs in Ely is it is still trading, but no G as I seam to remember.

If I am not mistaken there was a model shop around there when I lived in the area in the late 1970s (1976 - 79), and where I bought a lot of my first railway stuff.

Probably the same one James.
