A visit to Waltons...

As a child I used to regularly visit my local model shop in Chester.
At that time there were two in the city centre, Arts and Crafts and Waltons in the Forum. Waltons was always the better model shop, more space and more railway stuff and I always enjoyed going in an gazing at the locomotives in the display cases.

Fast forward 20 years and Waltons shut up in Chester in my late teens, and I'm stood outside their original store in Altrincham...

What a lovely model shop! 80% trains and all scales, kits, accessories and a friendly and cheerful owner whom I'm sure I recognised from all those years ago in Chester?
Anyway I managed to pick up a haul of tools and parts for an experiment in 009...

More on that later!

Waltons of Altrincham, highly recommended.
