Thursday 10th July 2025

Its all over the Web and the TV but if you do not know We have Oasis performing at Heaton Park This Weekend including Friday, which is only 1 mile from our shop.

its a massive gigg and will draw 100, 000 people to the area. Without doubt it will cause traffic issues in the area but mainly if travelling from the City Centre towards Whitefield and Bury.

Buses No 135 / 97/98  will be diverted and the Trams rammed in both directions so if you intent to visit us this weekend please try and come before 2pm which is when the road closures and diversions start.

If coming from the Bolton / Bury M60/61 North its unaffected generally.

The Shop will be open as normal but as a security measure due to passing crowds (less desirables) we might have the front door locked, if t is please just knock on, we will be here.

To make matters worse on Friday and Saturday starting at 10am the pub opposite are having a giant pre Oasis open air party with a huge crowd expected so there could be nightmares parking anywhere near here even during the day.  Sorry its all out of our control.

Our Genuine Summer Sale is still on until the 31st of July so grab 25% off selected items with genuine discounts on some of our older listed models.

Plenty of nice items have been sold but still plenty more to grab so have a look.

Excludes Newley Listed items ,Train sets, Train packs and selected items

The second hand market still seems very buoyant and we have stocks of Used items  here to suit every budget should you want anything.

The cheaper end of the stock we hold sells via the shop as the time it takes to list every item on our website  its just not possible or viable for us to list say a £4  wagon , but its just a phone call away if you want and cheap locos wagons, buildings, used track  etc which we can post out Monday-Friday.  Or even better pop in and have a rummage!
