A week and one day after ordering from this shop, I got no response about my order status, tracking…read moreor anything. No response to email or Facebook messenger. Only after opening a PayPal claim within a couple hours did I receive any acknowledgment- the part conveniently just showed up. So they requested I close the claim, which I happily did, only asking to be kept informed or sent a tracking number or something. I know they're likely a very busy shop, but just one email would have been sufficient, only to not receive anymore responses. Canceling my order. I'm now seeing why their on line reviews have taken a downward spiral.

At last, after 19 days, I have my order! Al's really blotted…read moretheir copybook with this one. A delivery time of 5-7 days finally stretched to 19, with little or no communication from them. It took an e-mail, threatening to cancel the order and get my money back to really spur them into action. I appreciated that this was suppliers stock, but why promise something you can't deliver? Why not keep the customer informed where delays are possible and are being experienced? Why not offer full refund and allow customer to go elsewhere? When initially chased, Al's said they hadn't received anything from me, (both e-mail and site form completed!). When answered there was no explanation as to why nothing was happening, just a simple "I'll look into it". A reputable company has really left a nasty taste in this customers mouth. Would I use them again? Yes, of course, their prices and stocks are very competitive, but they need to get their ordering and customer service sorted out.

No, they don't deal with models of the catwalk or editorial variety but are a wonderful throwback to the days of kids making things.They stock different kinds of models but the ones evoking the strongest memories for me are the Airfix models where I struggled to make sense of the flimsy instructions, sandpapered the plastic parts to perfection, glued them together before painstakingly painting them. Happy days indeed. They also stock parts for model railways though they don't have the largest selection in the shop. Their window displays are also quite impressive with one of a behemoth of a rail-transported German World War 2 artillery gun.

I found them on Google and ordered a remote control boat, with 2 batteries and a charger by mail…read moreorder. It came the next day and all seemed to work well with the boat. However the charger seemed to have a fault and they had sent one battery and not two. I emailed them to say that the battery was missing, the charger ddi not work and attached a picture of the charger with the fault lights on and they did not respond. I then called them and they got me to resend my email to a yahoo email address and said they would get back to me in 5 minutes with the answer. They did get back to me. They said the person who picked the order admitted that they got it wrong and they would send another one the next day. From this you may be wondering why I have put 5 stars, I would normally put a lot less for this! They did want to resolve the problem and did so, but that is not what made it 5 stars. On the picture which had the battery charging, they gave me really good advice. They say said that I should charge the battery on the 1amp and not the 3 amp settings which will take longer but is better for the battery and so on. They also diagnosed the status lamp going red and said it is normal for that kind of battery. If I had gone to Amazon, I would not have gotten this help, would not known what to do and probably all I could have done was send it back. So going here to a shop that is online, but run by real model enthusiasts, meant I got advice that could not get from a normal ecommerce site. As a result I will use them again.

We got our 4 year old son a little car that has a trailer on the back, and it even came with a tiny horse. The store was packed full of people, and so was the little exhibition! Really cool if you like that sort of stuff. And kind of cool if you don't.

The Exhibition is quite small but there are lots of buttons to press to make the trains go. One of the trains being Thomas the Tank Engine. There is also a wonderful scene at the beginning which goes in cycles from day to night. My little boy was fascinated by the lights and the detail. It's not very big but it's certainlt good value.
