Great Eastern Models

They are without doubt tirelessly dedicated to the hobby. They will get a vote from me.

They are marvellous. They are interested, supportive, and proactive in furthering the hobby, either via in-store events, or on social media.

Their latest initiative is to give free hire of their upstairs events room to any group who wishes to put on an open day, a demo day, anything at all. GEM will organise it all, provide parking and publicity as well as provide free tea and biscuits. They really are the epitome of a modellers model shop.

More than a model shop they are an integral part of the community. Supporting all interest in railways from model railways though miniature railways to heritage lines and absolutely everything in between. Their model shop has become a destination shop with locals (that are known by name) and visitors that come from afar. A real bricks and mortar family shop with a strong Facebook presence with good personal service and advice for newcomers to the hobby and the experienced. A telephone ordering service than can get next day delivery.

Great Eastern Models is a terrific shop for all gauges and large selection of second-hand stuff. Always come away with a cheerful and uplifted soul after Anne and Helens' infectious humour.  Brilliant knowledge and help for all levels of the hobby. The drive and enthusiasm across the shop and Facebook pages ensures we're all constantly encouraged by the wider GEM community.  As mentioned elsewhere, a modeller's model shop!
