Thank God I live in Belgium, my wallet couldn't bear it😜 I love these shops, and people might under estimate how important these are to keep the hobby going. And what I think makes this a very good modelshop is that they sell secondhand as well, and there is an after service. Not everyone is gifted with skills to repair stuff, and that's where good shops like these ones come in. And it's a shop for everyone's budget, that's important, giving people with low budgets a chance to also find joy and an escape from the stress full world we live in is a social benefit. And there are plastic kits, I use to build them a lot, and I had a good mentor in making them, it was for me a very good school for painting techniques. And perhaps the most important lesson I learned at the time, is take your time and go for perfection, and be open to negative critique. A lot of people can't stand critique, I agree with them if it's done to humiliate you. But on the other hand, if they always say that's good, it will give you a false impression, where you think you're good, where in reality you're not. And that's where a good mentor comes in, he will say in your face when it's rubbish, but then learns you at the same time how to do it correct, it can bee emotional hard, but once you get over that, the benefit evolves you the a top model builder. The amount of spitfires I build to learn, is beyond, I think the RAF never had so many spitfires🤣 But in the end it didn't bring me wind eggs, which brings us to the topic of today, Happy Easter everyone. Cheers, Danny

It IS the best in the country. The way they greet you, treat you, stock the shop, sort queries out. If have a railway or a model question, there’s someone that will know the answer. Have been to other shops from north to south, and on one or more points are below The Locoshed’s standards

What a cool shop. My kind of place. Owned by a chap who loves model railways and people. When I was in the hobby about 45-50 years ago, I did business with similar shop in Bakersfield, Ca. We didn't have Internet in the 1970s. If I was in the hobby today, I would still go to model railway shops. We need to keep our Main Street ( High Street) for my UK readers, going.

There used to be a great model shop where I live in Wigan. Used to visit the shop many times during the early-mid 90s with my dad when he built a loft model 00 gauge railway, later we built one in our garden after we moved. The shop moved twice but closed around the late 90s (I think) and I've heard it was forced to close because the council put the rent up and they were unable to afford to run it. This is what council's do when they don't want shops like this around they force them out of business. The last model shop I visited was at Westhoughton. Not many around now.

@wellchuffedrailways I know they used to be everywhere. I suppose some will argue the decline is because of the internet making online more cheaper to run a business, or that it's due to the decline in model railway enthusiasts, and most people just aren't interested in things like that as a hobby, it's become a close knit kind of hobby where most people regard it as abit anarak-ish. I do think the council's have played their part in their decline by deliberately pushing these shops out from the high street because they don't see them as being profitable and because they know it's something some people actually can enjoy visiting that puts a smile on their face, they just want shops that are all about pushing consumerism. Noone likes the counil they are just scum IMO.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing another wonderful support your local model railway shop 😊 your doing a great job 👍 the world needs people like your channel so well done both of you, keep the videos coming regularly 😊 Anyway on another note I love model railway shops like this especially the ones that still sell second hand stuff, it's a lot better then buying brand new items as you well know can be really pricey these days sadly to say. To be honest I prefer pre-owned model railway bits and bobs and as you will probably remember me telling you in one of your videos messages, that when I was a young boy I started my model railway collection with second hand items, and still do now too, I'll only buy brand new if it's a item that I really do want. Yes I really enjoy this shop, might have to pop over to Manchester one day and have a good look around, and it's nice to see a friendly owner who seems very knowledgeable about everything in the shop, which is really good. Anyway on a bit of jokey banter 😂 it's bloody typical "Well Chuffed" here's me collecting Model Pacer units OO and finding them difficult to get hold of, and this chap goes and has three of them for sale!!!!!!!! It's not fair!!!!!!!! Lol 😂 I love my little Pacer Trains model and real life and have a few on my layout too, well nevermind it's toy fair and model railway season now, so you never know what I'll find when I'm out and about hopefully? Will be attending Buxton railway show soon this year, as it's local to me, plus a great bus service from where I live too on both days which is good 😊 on another note, it was lovely to see one of the old Woodhead Electric locos for sale too, the Woodhead railway is one of my favourite past time lines, and I have a great interest in the line too, nice to know that a bit of the railway line still exists today in the Manchester area and in the Sheffield area too, sadly when I was born the railway closed 😢it would of been a lovely journey too? And even a CO-BO diesel too!!!!!! Never seen one model railway scale before, apparently there's a real one at the East Lancashire Railway heritage centre being done up and hopefully running again, at one time I remember it being stored in a Railway shed just a few yards away from Matlock Town Railway Station back in the 1980's. Anyway sorry for rambling on, I'm autistic and sometimes can't shut up!!!! Lol 😂 but it's who I am and not changing myself in anyway. Anyway on another note on the subject of supporting your local model railway shop, not sure if you've already done this one in past video's? But what about a visit to one of my other localish model railway shops? Rails of Sheffield.? Now that's a fantastic shop to visit and have a good look around 😊😊 Anyway it's your channel so I'll let you decide where you go and visit, but just thought I'd give you some ideas? Like I've said in the past Well Chuffed, I really love your channel and it keeps me entertained and happy to watch you both and see where you go on your travels, so keep up the good work. All the best from. Devon Mike 🚂 🚅

Hi Mike, glad you enjoyed the video and it might be worthwhile giving the shop a call for the pacers. The next loco I'm a after will a 2 rail Co-Bo but only a minter.

I'm sure if you advertised your "Well Chuffed Railways" channel more on social media your subscriber base would grow, especially with these model shop videos. Regards Barry.

Hi Barry, we have a Facebook group funnily called "Well Chuffed Railways" and the subscriber base is slowly growing but we have never asked for subscribers as that does get annoying. We are very time limited due to having full-time jobs with long hours. As most of our content is shot on location one video takes a while day of filming. The editing process will usually be at least a couple of hours 3, 4 or 5 days a week. With that workload our channel will never be a huge one. However we are happy with our lot and glad to be contributing to the hobby whilst asking for nothing in return. We do appreciate all your comments and feedback and all we can ask is that you spread the word. All the best Rick.

A super model shop. I don't think we have anything like it in Bristol except Antics. Saw many things I already have and loads I would like to have. Thank you for sharing. Regards Paul.

Hi Pete, this was filmed before you asked for a mention, you will have to wait until next Sunday's Toy fair video. Glad you enjoyed the video it sure is a great shop and I'm glad you are giving them a ring. All the best Rick.

Great shop. I would love to patronize my local model shop, but I don’t really have one worthy of the name. The closest one (five hours away) used to be good, but the last time I talked to the owner at a model train show he informed me that o scale was on its way out and that I should just buy a digital HO setup from him. So, I will just stick with online orders ….

A fantastic model shop! Unfortunately more and more model shops are disappearing and all over Europe. People prefer to shop online. And the shops have their own soul. You can talk to and get advice from the shop owner.
