About Us
Introducing the gang
Maria, aka ‘the boss lady’
Known to her regulars as marvelous Maria.
She started the shop with her former partner, Jeff in 2002.
After his tragic death in 2007, decided to make a go of it on her own and she hasn't stopped since! She has expanded the shop to almost double its size, brought in many new ranges, developed this new website, and started up very informative and free to all workshops held once a month on a Saturday.
Lynne (aka lush lips)
Lynne has been a great friend of Maria’s for many years; they are often mistaken for sisters.
Many a time a customer will start a conversation with one of us and then finish with the other which has caused much hilarity!
She came to the shop after Jeff died to help out and have a cuppa and hasn't left since! I knew nothing of model railways but have learnt so much in such as short time.
"Even my sons often help out, at the shop; Charlie (aka choppers) makes a mean cuppa, Alfie (aka Alf the mouth) is often found wandering around the shop pretending to clean!"
Backroom Support Boys
The team has now expanded to three and maybe more.
Paul (aka The Curly One)
All things techie and webbie. Also failing to get the girls to follow procedures
