IRISH EYES ARE SMILING FOR BACHMANN’S RETAILER OF THE YEAR

 

PRESS RELEASE

 

For the first time a model railway dealer from outside the UK has been appointed Bachmann Retailer of the Year. The 2013 award was presented to Marks Models from the Republic of Ireland at the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition in November.

Marks Models was founded in 1987 and now has three stores operating in Dublin, Greenogue and Cork. Marks are specialist model stores serving all aspects of the hobby including die-cast, plastic kits, radio control and model railways. Marks Models attends the major British model railway exhibitions in London, Glasgow and Warley each year. At other times they will be found in their home country and the UK attending agricultural shows, vehicle rallies, plastic kit conventions and local model railway exhibitions.

Mark Cuffe, Managing Director of Marks Models said “We are delighted and privileged to have been presented with this prestigious award as recognition for the massive growth we have seen in Bachmann products over the past few years including the range of Scenecraft Irish structures which has enabled us to cater for the developing world wide interest in Irish railways as well as those of the UK”.

The award was presented by David Haarhaus, Bachmann’s European Sales & Marketing Manager and David Bowker, Bachmann Sales Representative for the Midlands, Wales and Ireland.

David Haarhaus, Bachmann’s European Sales & Marketing Manager said “We are very pleased to present Marks Models with this award. The store has been steadily growing its representation of our products over a great many years, and we have only ever received positive comment from our collectors who shop there. Mark supports our brands across the board in his stores and at exhibitions. I wish him all the best with his future plans and look forward to working with him for many years to come”

Santy did visit regularly in the late eighties, dropping lima points, BR buffers from Marks', and such so they are heroes of mine. I despair at their delays of getting in Evergreen and Deluxe Materials - (heroic status slighly diminished) but fair dues to them. Not easy to get that accolade whilst up against the boxshifter brigade.

Congratulations to Marks Models. Well done to all!:-bd

Is there any chance you might be able to request Bachmann to re-run the Scenecraft Irish Structures that were so popular while you are in such great standing?;)

Fair play marks models. It is an absolute delight to still be able to visit yous lads. As an ex dub I remember your shop upstairs in dolier St clearly. In Hawkins St I spent my pocket money and Christmas presents for many years. I have been back several times lately and it is soooooo comforting that some things stay the same. Many thanks.
