Buy Trains?
Posted by wairoa on Saturday, December 25, 2004 3:16 PM
Alright where do we get our trains from? I have bought several of my models from LHS but also have bought many online including ebay. I think Train land/world has got to be one of my favourites. TW have always been helpful, couteous and always get my order out quickly. Add to that, their relatively (if there is cheaper please let me know). I have bought 1 or 2 items from Internet model trains but usually find better deals elsewhere. I also buy many models from over seas especially the UK and here Shrewsburry comes into play as well as Hattons and others. [:)]

Hattons is cheapest for locos, The Signal Box is cheapest for Peco track, and The Hobby Shop in Faversham is cheapest for virtually everything else.
