Collets Models, Exmouth

Post by thomas the plank engine »

If ever you are down Exmouth way have a look into this model shop. Its in Albion Street, Exmouth. Not large by any means and only been up and running for 2 years, but the young lad is trying to make it a thriving business.

Address has been amended, my mistake, sorry lads

A google map search for Albion Road Exmouth, failed to turn it up. There is an Albion place, court, hill, terrace and street, but no road! As I am in South Devon on holiday soon, I'd like to go and have a look.

Kenny,
You might also have seen a small video clip of the blue 31 running around the GGR, that was a nice purchase from Leigh, and its running better the more I run it. Good competative prices and well worth a visit of ever down that way.
