Can anyone tell me where I can find a decent model shop in the North West (or even North East) Not one that just sells Hornby/Peco/Bachman etc but one which stocks loco kits/wagon kits/Scratch builder stuff? I know about Tower models (Blackpool) but they're mostly 7mm and I'm looking for 4mm stuff. If it can be reached by rail so much the better. I know I can mail order but I'd like to find somewhere that I can have a bit of a browse too. Mike H
Tried Hattons in Liverpool? Also have a website for online ordering and they're not that expensive either.

Try my local shop, "The Train Shop" on Pedder Street in Morecambe, which is about 5-10 minutes walk from the railway station. The proprietor, Richard Dalton, sells absolutely nothing but model railway goods (as opposed to buses / slot cars / etc.) and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to help you out with your requirements.

Cheers, John.
