Summer opening

 

Hours may be erratic during the summer months - but always glad to open on demand - or worth trying at short notice if you are not far away. Latest in, are some items from Greenlight, Car Workshop, Siku, EFE, Norev and Matchbox, in scales from1:24 to 1:150, and a jumble of second-hand/rough condition small cars, military models, buses, and Tekno spare parts. Plus the usual mix of transport and art/design books.

Sunday, June 1, 2025

Our closed dates in June are Wednesday 4th and Saturday 7th but we are usually open on Weds and Sats 2-5 and often open on other days. Recent second-hand items include Budgie, EFE, Corgi OOC and Matchbox, and some cine transport films are available to view but you may need to wait for darkness to fall as we don't have any black-out!

Thursday, May 1, 2025

Mayday!! Due to festivities associated with 1st May we won't open on Saturday 3rd. This is to give our many workers a proper break. Other opening times available at short notice as usual (after 5th). Recent discoveries include EFE and Corgi 00 buses; and finding out the movie projector doesn't show standard-8 films, only Super-8, but including sound. You can review your old home movies here if your old projector has given up, and offers of old Super-8 movies are always welcome.

We'll be closed on Saturday 26th April at Smithbrook Kilns as it's the Bluebell Railway collectors' day, but open at other times and for the usual hours on Saturdays and Wednesdays. New in are 'N' scale road vehicles, some Greenlight and Boulevard items, and more Majorette toys. We'll also be firing up the old single/super-8 projector, so if you have any cine films you haven't seen in years, bring them along to see.

Wednesday, April 9, 2025

 Today we are closing earlier than usual, but open for the 'normal' hours on Saturday 12th April.

New diecast models and toys arriving all the time, and the 'find it' search service is still available!
