Portadown Model Shop?

[GNRi1959]

Anyone know if a model railway shop exists in Portadown. I'll be there Friday and could pass an hour or two......

An hour or two in Portadown? Did you not have a better defence barrister, Tony?

Well, actually I am there all day at the College. However, I can slip away for a couple of hours.

If there was a shop that would suit.

LOL - I got stuck there in the station for three hours back in 1998 on the 10th of July when the enterprise broke down returning to Dublin. I put on a German accent as the place was rather busy with weekend visitors! But est vas perfektly ok und pepol ver fury nic to mich fur ze duraton ov my delay.

On a serious note how many proper model railway retailers are left on the whole island north and south?

The 'Modellers Corner' in Enniskillen is quite good and stock most items from the Hornby, Peco and Wills range. Omagh lost its model railway shop many years ago.

Tony, I used to live in Armagh City and the only model shop in Portadown is Rennicks in the town centre. They used to do Irish Railways but now only do radio controlled cars. Might still be worth a look. Good place for a coffee is The Yellow Door. Hope this helps.

As Newtoncork said, Rennicks is the only model shop in the town. It used to carry Murphy Model stock but lately the railway stock has been reduced concentrating now on RC Cars.
