Hi,
Off on out hols next weekend. Any train shops in the Telford area?
Alex :wave:
None I could recommend ... Shrewsbury has a vaguely OK one, up near Tesco North of the city.
Best bet is to head to Hereford, and call into Hereford Models; if you take the train, it's on the walk into the city.

The ones near me are
Footplate - Kidderminster
Model Mecca - Kingswinford
Tennets Trains - Halesowen
DCC Supplies - Near worcester (have some scenry but no locos, coaches etc)
I still haven't made my mind up about Footplate ... they can be 'strange' in there ... but OTOH, they're just down the road from SVR (literally - walk out of the SVR car park, cross over the road & walk down to the roundabout; they're about 2-3 shops before you get there). Prices aren't particularly competitive either, but the selection is reasonable.
Speaking of SVR - don't forget that they stock Bachmann, although the better selection is at Bridgenorth.
DCC Supplies are good if you want DCC stuff (obviously :D), track, etc. Always worth having a pop in if you're close. But they're a step out from Telford ;) Only locos they have are the specials from Modellbahn Union, but I see the A4s have gone :( Unless you're into Hornby Railroad ... :no:
