Cheapo plastic foil cutter gave up.

Re -Lightbulb moment! Cut the tube down for storage.

Lightbulb moment! Cut the tube down for storage 👍

I hope Colin found my post helpful 😊 Doug

I note in his post that ColinH says that the model shop in Leominster has been having difficulties in acquiring stock as it comes through Europe. Others say that the shop they tried was out of stock, I've found this myself buying planking etc on line that they were out of stock and have been for ages. Alice has been frustrated in buying some electrical components for our camper van conversion. In general, shopping for all sorts of things I've noticed the same thing, low or no stock and a shrugging of the shoulders when asked when they will have stock. As much of the merchandise we buy in this country comes via Europe, I ask, is this a result of Brexit? I'm beginning to think so.

Cheers, Nerys

Wow order has been posted already 🏆

I’m just ordering obechi planks in three widths from Cornwall models 👍

T, that's an experience we all looked forward to recently. I called into Martins Models in Leominster today looking for batteries and planking.
No planking left in stock and had his only available battery.
He has been having trouble getting stock as most items arrive via Europe.
Will have to try online, it's just a shame as I prefer to see what I'm buying.
Cheers Colin.

I should have taken more pictures
It’s just like Beatties without the trains.
Next time 👍
However due to COVID much of the ground floor is now behind the counter

That brought back memories T3.
I honestly cannot remember the last time i went in a proper model shop.

This week I bought two double oven gloves, six cheesecakes and a lovely meal for two of skate and chips. By the way, Alice fitted all my grab rails about seven years ago.

Nerys

I bought and fitted a grab rail for the side of my mothers main entrance. The price the delivery the quality were all faultless.
I will add a picture of the installed item later.
I used chemical resin fixings in the cavity bricks as expansion plugs from professional fitters previously cracked a lot of bricks when she had a steel gate 😠

EDIT picture added 👍
