Bradford Model Railway (Manchester) Centre bag

Would you like an old plastic bag from a model shop? 

Of course I would. 

Just around the corner from a Wimpy - can things get any better? 

The Bradford shop closed in 2006, but by then it had become "Frizinghall Models & Railways" to avoid confusion with the owners shops in Huddersfield, and Leeds as well as Manchester, and the closure was due to a move to an industial unit. 

FMR still exist an can be found here.

  1. What I find very strange is a shop called "Bradford Model Railway Centre" apparently having shops in Manchester, Huddersfield, and Leeds but not Bradford!

    I'm a big fan of the Brown Derby dessert, less so of the "Bender in a bun" main course.

    And they give you knives and forks to eat with too. So civilised!

  4. I work at the Bradford Model Railway Center from 1987 to 1989 when it was run by Paul Hawksworth. Had a great time and learnt a huge amount about model railways and die-cast cars as well as Scalextric. Fun times.
