Hi Andy, It's absolutely fantastic how it's coming together very nice video love the van detail have a great bank holiday my friend best regards Mark vickery 👍👍

great work, inspiring

Coming along nicely, Andy. With some nice details being added, I think Dylan is looking forward to creating the scenery on his 009 layout. He's been asked if he wants to take it to the 009 society exhibition at the Portland College Mansfield in October as a work in progress layout. He's interested in going, so we'll see what happens with that. An enjoyable update video...cheers James 🙂👍

I had this set. I used the Airfix British paratroopers as the "goodies" who would storm Dr X's lair and fight the black plastic commandos. Sometimes they'd stop the missile launching, Sometimes they didn't.

Coming on Like the gas pipe run by the bridge

He looks like a tanky driver with that face 😂 cheer up and all of you put a HV vest on 😊

Hi Andy, doing a cracking job on this little Welsh layout the detailing is excellent makes all the difference cheers Al

It's all looking great Andy. Step by step we progress. Happy Modelling 👍

Excellent advances, Andrew! That has come forward quite a bit, very sharp and nice explanations of what you used and how! All the best!

Wow Andy you got some fantastic bargains there my friend, it'a shame they are closing down but you got some great deals

Thank’s for this interesting report. 😃👍

Sad to hear another hobby shop closing. Great deals , thanks for sharing. dave

Sad to hear of another hobby store closing down. But well done on the bargains mate.

Up near West Brom on Monday...reckon they'll have the offers on then?

Hi Andy, It's always a shame when a model shop closes, but it looks like you've managed to bag a couple of real bargains... Cheers James 🙂👍

Great deals and buys, just sad for the shop, of course! Wonderful video. All the best to you and the family!

Hi Andy,I love the layout and videos. I don’t normally comment but have to say a big thank you for this one, as a new modeller I’m on a budget and buy mostly s/hand but had to drive up for this deal and I’m over the moon on my pick-ups especially as I was saving up for a Fairlie and ended up with a Hunslet as well!! Again a big thank you and looking forward to some more videos!!! 👏🏻👍🏻😀

It's a shame they have no online shop

The issue is our reliance on the Internet is killing the physical retail businesses. Also the manufacturers and big retailers can afford to slap 50% discounts on models in flash sales where smaller retailers can't. But saying that some of the newer companies and some of the smaller businesses have realised this change and are now redesigning and improving their websites to show their vast range of new and used models. This does help as most younger modellers (including myself) will tend to buy online as they don't get time to visit a physical store either due to no car or due to being busy in life working during the day or weekends.

Hi Andy so sad these small shops are closing Tennants in Halesowen now closed for good the guy on Bilston market sadly gone aswell keep well my friend nice items best regards Mark vickery

Wow Andy, i wish i was closer. Sad though. I would have had the same as you. Love 37s, ATB to you.Stuart

Did they have many diesels left when u where there?

Hi, do they do these deals online too? I cannot find anything on their website unfortunately, except them mentioning the closing down sale, cheers

Great deals Andy. I guess you have to he there. Shame the shop is closing though. Happy Modelling

Sadly this is the consequence of the majority of manufacturers selling direct and competing against retailers, often undercutting them with bundle discounts, reward points etc., retailers are the very lifeblood of the hobby and we need them if the hobby is to survive

Shame to hear about the shop. A. Oakes. Another one gone. Well done Andrew and thanks for the info. I hope you enjoy your purchases!

So sad to see another shop closing but wow some serious bargains there Andy especially the class 37s. Great video, I hope you and your family are well.

Wow what a great deal and it's a shame that the shop is closing
