Last weekend I went to the
Isle of Wight for a 40th Ruby anniversary of a friend staying in a
hotel in Sandown. To my surprise there was a model shop called Upstairs Downstairs. It was nice to see
a model shop for I have not been in one for a long time now. Upstairs there was
the railway gear and downstairs the wargame stuff although this was mainly for
Warhammer and Airfix kits, but there were many difference types of trees on offer and also grass tuffs of many different colours.
The shop was packed with
railway scenery and looking around there were loads of products that I could of
purchase. But I did not go away empty
handed as I picked up a packet of Metcalfe OO/HOs Cobblestone Builder Sheets, M0051.
There are 8 sheets of the
cobblestone sheets in the pack and these are going to be used for the courtyards
in my farms and for the town square.
If you are going on holiday to the Isle of Wight this
summer then take a look at this shop in Pier Street Sandown, between the pier
on the seafront and the main high street. If not then look at their website.I hope to go back there again but I must have some cash with me next time.
