Ever since the harrow model shop went down, i have found it very hard to buy the stuff i need for my oo layout.

Where in north west london or herts are there any good model shops still going.??

I used to use the shop in chorleywood but hes shut down now as well.

CHEERS.

I can only agree sadly. I was gutted the Harrow Model Shop shut down-although the LT side of it has now improved under radley models. There is a good shop on the A40 just South of Oxford. Its called Motor Books I think.

There's always Modelzone!

I buy most bits online.

I love my A stock I do!

Which, of course, is why so many of the smaller model shops are closing.

Model Junction has moved to Slough but definitely is still open to the public. They specialise in North American, but no modeller should be without the Walthers catalogue, if nothing else it shows just how backward the UK equivalent, Peco is. Bachmann used to produce an American bus station which, with a little bit of tweaking, can be adapted to look something like St John's Wood.

Good shop also in Marlow, but I can't track down a web page.

Couldn't comment on what it would be like though...
