Quote from PECO – “From quite early days PECO has concentrated its manufacturing skills in the direction of producing trackwork for the model railway enthusiast. Individual component parts was how it started but this developed into HO/OO ready made track with fibre sleepers. With plastics becoming more popular in the 1960s it was decided to introduce the famous Streamline range which over the years has become one of the world’s leading brands for not just HO/OO but all scales from Z to G. ”

There is even a clever little device that hooks on underneath a bogie and continuously cleans track. Check out the video for more details.

Many folk come into the shop to see our fairly basic layout based on a Hornby TrackMat. We run an analogue 12V line and two DCC lines to compare and contrast the two systems. This simple layout has inspired both young – and older folk as well. Quite a few have started building their own layouts. These just go round in a circle – but they are still fascinating to watch. I guess it has something to do with the romance of steam in a bygone age. And of course, having just added a new diesel loco to the track with DCC sound, you can hear the sounds of the past as well. A Class 37 with full digital sound is just amazing!

The little train running in our window attracts lots of attention, especially from younger children. If they come in to the shop the first thing they want to do is touch the train and run it along the tracks. Youngsters love the idea of holding a model and running it along the ground. They don’t yet have the concept of control through a box.
So the perfect solution is a wooden train set where they can run the loco and wagons around a wooden railway track. The perfect solution for toddlers.

Silverlit Spy Cam

The fantastic Sky Cam helicopter can take up to three minutes of videos or hundreds of photos whilst flying, upon command from the remote control transmitter.

Featuring a contra rotating rotor design for an extremely stable hover, combined with a sophisticated electronic heading lock gyro system, for superb directional stability and taking the clearest pictures.

Download the videos and photos from the Sky Cam helicopter to a computer with the USB lead supplied, and use the complimentary graphic software provided to adjust the picture quality, contrast and brightness for the best possible reproduction.

This sold out very quickly last time but we have been able to secure further stocks – probably the last before Christmas. Check out this video and see this helicopter in action

AMG Mercedes CLK

As a result of numerous enquiries, we have just taken delivery of a range of remote control cars and helicopters to supplement our existing range of Silverlit helicopters. The cars range from a small 1:40 scale BMW for younger children to large 1:10 scale racing cars for the older enthusiast.
