TMC (The Model Centre)
The Model Centre (TMC) is a gem of a family-run business nestled in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors, right next to the iconic North Yorkshire Moors Railway. This picturesque setting adds to the charm of a shop that’s been delighting model railway enthusiasts since 1998. What makes TMC stand out is not just its range of top brands, but its specialist custom services. Whether you want your model weathered, renumbered, or renamed, TMC’s attention to detail guarantees that every locomotive and carriage looks top-notch.
Beyond just selling models, TMC offers an experience—walking into their showroom feels like entering a world built on passion for the railway hobby, and their friendly, expert staff are always on hand to help, without ever being pushy. The scenic beauty of the surrounding area, combined with the nostalgic charm of heritage steam trains chugging by, makes a visit to TMC more than just a shopping trip—it's a day out to remember. It's a delightful blend of craftsmanship, customer care, and family values that makes TMC a top contender for UK Model Shop of the Year.
