In this Internet era, is there a good (for OO9) shop in London?
Thanks. I thought I was going to London on Wednesday, but now I'm not, so no need anyway.
Kent Garden Railways in St. Mary Cray (not far from the station).
He normally has every new release from Liliput and Roco, plus can get anything else from them. Also stocks the Peco L&B coaches and I saw the new releases over the weekend.
Peco OO9 track normally in stock as well...
Just a satisfied customer...
I'll vouch for Kent Garden Railways as well. There is a small but comprehensive stock of track, never not had what I wanted. Friendly guys run the place, nice to take time and have a chat.
Just to update this: according to both Google and rmweb, The Engine Shed in Leytonstone has now closed down.
A pity as it used to be a gold mine for odd bits and pieces you never knew you needed......
Regards,
Simon.
The Engine Shed at Leyonstone used to be my local modelshop when I lived in London years go. It is sad to hear of its demise but invitable I suppose. When I moved here to Cambridgeshire there was a better choice than most but those shops have gone now too. Scograil (Ipswich), Model Junction (Bury St Edmunds) and Trains4U (Peterborough) are best with City Cycle (Ely) being OK with a smaller stock. However I am drifting off topic.

The best shop anywhere is the OO9 Sales and Recycling service. For anything else rlated to scenery, track, etc. then the internet is the best bet.
