OPENING WEEK EVENTS
We opened on 1st May 2019 with a range of special events during the week to celebrate. We had the full support of the major manufacturers and model railway magazines, most of whom were represented during the opening week of events. We chose Guildford as this is an area that is very familiar to us with regular exhibition attendances in the area. We also have a large customer base who already use our mail order service and, through our research, there is a lack of any dedicated model shops found in the surrounding area.
Chris Trerise, Managing Director of Kernow Model Rail Centre, said “It is vitally important for the future of our hobby to attract new modellers and this can only be done by having a physical shop to showcase the vast range of products available.Our Guildford branch will build on the success of our Camborne shop in having working displays and knowledgeable staff to assist".
Guests included: Tony Lowe and Richard Proudman from Bachmann, Steve Haynes from PECO, Steve Flint, Editor of Railway Modeller and TV Star of The Great Model Railway Challenge, Andy York and Phil Parker from British Railway Modelling and RMweb, Ben Jones from Heljan, Simon Kohler, Hornby and TV star of James May's Big Trouble in Model Britain, Hornby Magaxine editor Mike Wild, and Assistant Editor Mark Chivers, Joel Bright from Dapol, Kevin Player from Gaugemaster, the Model Rail team Editor, Richard Foster, and Chris Nevard, Photographer and Model Maker, who built our Porth Emmett demonstration layout. also Ben Ando from Revolution Trains.
