Still loving this thread, but it also got me to thinking about the LHS I used to use.
My first car came from Morley Models (when they had the big double fronted shop in Morley at the bottom of the hill), but I also recall using a small model shop in Birstall called Les Brown Models. I have no idea where it was and presume it closed donkeys years ago as I can't find it on internet anymore. Alternatively, and actually I'd much rather the following was true as it may have been one of those magical shops that only children can find such as in the stories of Enid Blyton etc when you stand in a grass circle and are suddenly transported to a hitherto unknown world of elves and pixies. Whenever I read my children wishing chair or faraway tree stories and the characters end up in magical shops with funny smells, and whirring noises I am transported back to Les Brown models as that was exactly what it seemed like to me.
I am probably doing him a disservice, but I can almost even recall Les himself being half pixie and half wizard... Anybody else remember?
