ANY GOOD MODEL SHOPS NEAR POLPERRO IN CORNWALL

[paulprice]

Help, I have to spend a week on Holiday in Polperro Cornwall, are their any good model shops around there?

The Liskeard shop has recently closed.

Short of travelling all the way down to Kernow in Camborne, I would think your best bet is to seek out shops in Plymouth and surrounding area/s.

I stand to be corrected on the above of course.

Hi Paul
Glad to hear that you are popping down to the best part of the country.
Although to be fair for the last 3-4 days all we have had it heavy rain and gales.
I think the nearest model shop to Polperro will be at Mevagissey (World of Model Railways). He doesn't have a lot N gauge wise but sometimes has some second hand stuff at reasonable prices and he's more than happy to try it out on a little test track.(although you takes your chance - sometimes he has no 2nd hand stock at all).
Other than that, it's Kernow Model Rail Centre near me in Camborne.  You'll have heard of them. Not a huge shop but crammed with stuff. Near the top of Trelowarren Street. If you are very luck you can park in the layby opposite if not there's a car park in town or Tesco just a 2-3 min walk away.
There's also Liskeard Model Railway shop who have limited N gauge.
Enjoy your time down here. If you fancy a pint or coffee let me know.

Last time I was in Polperro it was a car free zone. You had to leave your car in a car park on the edge of the town and walk to your accomodation. However, the Blue Peter pub more than made up for that as it had a fantastic range of real ales. New Years Eve the whole town goes out in fancy dress. I was dressed as a doctor and was pleasantly shocked at what some of the ladies asked me to check out!

Lived and went to school in Camborne but that was a very long time ago.

I understand kids don't have to bring their own chalk and blackboard now. 

Hope the weather behaves for you, PP
