Are there queues outside your local model shop

Post by Tricky Dicky »

I was just wondering how much pent up demand had built up. I unfortunately cannot visit either near me as we are shielding still, but it seems there is a rush at other types of stores.

My only question is whether my local modelshop has used the time productively and tidied the place up. :D

I’m lucky - Peters Spares in Boro and a nice ride over to Beckhole gives me TMC. Smaller shops are Redcar and Stockton - must be keen modellers in these parts or we’ve lots of money to spend (on second thoughts, cancel the last comment)!
