Bought locomotive at a show I trust shops to test locomotives before there are sold when I got it home and tried to use the model and it only managed a tiny movement.
It's likely the drive gear is broken.
(Turned out to be an issue with jamming valve gear)
I would recommend getting your items tested if possible before leaving a show.

2 years agoI wont be using this shop anymore. There isn't much in there to interest me to many empty shelves and 2nd hand goods.l would rather go further afield to a well stocked and very helpful and friendly shop. The shop is brimming with an abundance of items. I just wish l lived nearer but at least l know when l get there l will be very satisfied.

3 years agoWow! The modelling enthusiast can spend hours here. I am currently attempting to get my 55 year old oo gauge railway set working. Andy talked me through the solutions of all the problems with series 4 and series 6 tracks and the old and new train designs. Andy is very knowledgeable and totally genuine. He didn't try to sell me anything that wouldn't be compatible with my layout and directed me to where I can purchase track and other accessories. Well worth a visit to see the 4 working layouts currently in store. Amazing.

5 years agoGreat for model trains, I'm more into planes (Airfix etc) but needed some paints and decided to try a local shop instead of the internet, really glad I did, good selection (but not my usual brand) excellent prices, really friendly guys, I will use them again as its far more convenient that the internet. Well worth giving them a try. A+++++

6 years agoDecent shop that gives excellent service.
The owner is pleasant and will take his time to talk to you and give advice.
We had been going in a few times looking at numerous sets for our 5 yearold he is train mad. Even though we didn't purchase anything we were always greeted pleasantly.
We was walking past in October last year and my lad noticed the flying scotsman in the window so we called in to purchase it for him
The owner was really good with my 5 yearold lad he got the flying scotsman out and put it on the track so he could see it he gave us loads of advice for our little build.
My lad loves this shop. And for good reason the owners attitude towards customers is good.
