Final stop of the day, Harrogate Models Located in this bustling post office, this hidden gem is full of model kits and looking to expand their model railway offering. It’s impossible to leave without buying something from either of the floors. Harrogate is a lovely place so if you are in town, try and pop in and say hi to Ian. Interestingly the post office here was one of the busiest in the region. And I’ve seen the certificate! Some might say it’s a first class operation (groan)

Our 1st stop today is Frizinghall Models and Railways An immaculately presented and well stocked shop with 3 spectacular in store layouts to see. Susan and her knowledgeable team are on hand to guide you through their large range of model railway products from all the major manufacturers in multiple scales and gauges. It’s THE destination store if you are in the area. Their sister company John Ayrey (operating from the same site) are a huge model wholesaler with over 65,000 items in their catalogue so if you can’t see what you want in the shop, always ask!

Final stop of the day: B & H Models A traditional model shop tucked away in the beautiful cathedral city of Lincoln stocking a good selection of model railways, model kits, Scalextric and Radio Control. This 17th/18th century building (so old it can’t remember itself) technically has stock spread across 7 floors if you count one step as a ‘floor’ and if you get a chance, take a look at the historic vault. Even George Clooney and Brad Pitt would struggle to break into this!

Second Stop for today is @Digitrains One of the UKs leading DCC Suppliers and also a great standalone model shop in its own right. If you need specialist digital advice this is one of THE places to come with nearly all systems (including INFINITY) ready to try out on their demonstration layouts. You can also see a fine selection of locomotive nameplates on the wall too which we entirely approve of!

Today we are back on the rails, and our first stop is @Trains4U. Located in the busy railway town (or is it city?) of Peterborough, this huge shop with two floors of model railways, model kits, Games Workshop and Scalextric is well worth a visit. With easy access and free parking right outside, you won’t be disappointed you did. Fun fact : Trains 4 U are now offering beautifully weathered O gauge Heljan items. Ask them about the Deltic, too 👀
