? They seem to be a few doors from my favourite book shop, but I have never heard of them and their web site appears to be unfinished.


That's funny...I was literally there on Sunday. I went to go for a wander along Cromford Canal up to High Peak Junction, but just before I was looking for an ATM. I walked up that street as there's a post office there and I thought they'd have one - they didn't. I did walk to your bookstore though and peered in. I didn't see any model shop next door so I guess they had nothing in the windows otherwise I would had been straight in!

I took this photo just after peering into the bookstore...

OK it's not an interesting story and it doesn't help you much but I'm in one of those moods tonight...

Google Streetview, for DE4 3QF, shows the front door of the old chapel, wide open and apparently re-fitting work being carried out. I've no idea of course, when the image was taken.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember this business advertising from time to time in the magazine of Peak Rail (Steam In The Peak / Peak Express)

If you look at the Bachmann website they are listed there as a dealer and if you click on the picture by the name it shows a name board hanging on the wall. Match that up with Google Street View and I reckon they're up the stairs between the bookshop and the chapel somewhere. The name board doesn't appear on streetview but if you look carefully there are a couple of hooks it might be hung on.

But its supposed to be open on Tuesdays
