The Hobby Goblin

This is a great model shop in Stoke on Trent with Steve who makes all, young and old very welcome. It's not just a retail shop but a workshop surgery and place to discuss modelling. I recently returned to model railways after a 40 year hiatus and Steve helped me resuscitate my enthusiasm and model locos from the late 70s and early 80s. He showed me how to service them and tested them on his shop layout. No problem is too small and Steve is happy to share his knowledge and skills. Old and young modellers all spend hours chatting and developing and using the shop layout to test purchases. Steve gave me the confidence to get back into model railways again.
