Sources of continental models

Hi All

Quick question to the European modellers on the forum. Where are you buying your European outline models? I'm looking for a couple of short european shunter locomotives for an industrial layout. Any good European or UK based websites?

Thanks in advance

Dave

Trading for nearly 40 years, the web site only has a fraction of what he has. Lots of ready to run , new and secondhand.

P>S> looks like he has his stand at York Model Railway Show this (Easter) weekend. If anyone is going say hello to Geof and Allison from me (They might then give you a special discount but on reflection will more likely add something on!)

eBay can also be good if one is careful and shops around. Rails of Sheffield also carry some stock of second hand locos etc. There’s a model shop in Carlisle - C and M models who also seem to carry a fair range

I generally use modellbahnshop-lippe.com. Have always found their mail-order service reliable and speedy and they have a good range of stock.

I've used the following: Michas Banhoff (toyauctions.de) and Ben Zerba (Czech Rep.). Shipment from purchase to delivery was within 4-5 days.

I use Lokshop.de and and delivery to UK 2-3 working days. I log in check price - 20% cheaper new items marklin that ebay.de
