Hi Ron

 

Many thanks for the update.

[Doug Ireland]

Just updated my Tom Tom, all working fine.

 

Cheers mate.

[Allan Bowker]

This is a brilliant map that I use a heck of a lot (and send updates to the site admin).

 

The TomTom POI feature is a 1st class idea.

 

THANKS !!!

Well Well Well how can Wales' capital city  -Cardiff - not have a Rc supplier????

 

It's the Capital. Just could you imagine London not having one??? This just tell me there is a gap in the market I know antics does a limited range but the staff are not very knowledgeable TBH - however there is one gentleman that's working there that is really helpful - he did stop me buying a EDF few years ago.

Hi Vasili

 

I can only enter locations for shops I find or am told about.  Please let me know if you would like a location added.

 

I had never thought of using the site as a means to find a good location for a new buisiness, if anyone is succesfull how about a 10% finders fee?

 

regards

Hi Michael

A very handy link that works for me.

just a couple of updates for you

The Model workshop in christchurch Bournemouth is no longer in business.

and

its not one I have heard of and I live in Bournemouth but

south coast sail planes in Bournemouth the area code for the phone no should be 01202 and not 01707

Hi Inspector

 

Many thanks for the updates, it's sad when we loose a LMS, but I do like to keep the site current.

I've updated most of the sections this morning, but I do not have all the software (conversion between csv & kml etc)  I use, at work, I'll try to run those tonight and update the site tomorrow.

A club mate mentioned a new shop in Salfords, near Redhill. From a bit of internet searching, I think it's:

 

Red Baron Models

‎34 Brighton Road,

Salfords,

Redhill

RH1 5BX

01293 785 675

‎

 

I'd recommend phoning them to see whether it's a mail order, internet, shop front etc. - I don't know any more about it than this!

[Michael Hickman]

Many thanks David, I have updated the map & uploaded to the main site. There is a holding page on the web, I trust it is OK?

 

I have e mailed the shop to confirm details & that the link is OK to publish.

 

Mike

[David E]

I hadn't managed to find a webpage, from what I heard, they have only just started up, so perhaps they don't have a page yet. On the other hand, I may have found the wrong name and address, and it could be a defunct business - let us know what you find out!

Hi David & Graham

 

Many thanks for the new sites, but always sad to remove a shop from the site!

I have updated the map & uploaded to the main site.

Please add :

Optimum Models

Norton Canes

Staffordshire

 

I called in the other day for one or two little bits and pieces and they seem to have expanded their stock.

 

Planes, Helis, Cars and Boats plus building materials and components.

 

Nice little shop close to Cannock and Walsall.

[Michael Hickman]

Hi Cyberdave

 

It's already on, lower small white dot in the West Midlands.

 

If you or anyone else find anymore please let me know.

 

Thanks

[Michael Hickman]

Hi Cyberdave

 

Just noticed your thread about Models in Motion, that is one I didn't have an entry for, but bearing in mind the theme of the thread I won't add at the moment. Please let me know how you get on.

 

Fingers crossed (best smiley I could find)

Hi All

I've just updated all of the shows for 2011 (red dots on the map).

If anyone knows of any more that would be of interest to the forum members please let me know details.

I hope to update the downloadable files tonight and upload tomorrow.

Mike

[Michael Hickman]

Hi All

Just to confirm, I've just uploaded the updated Google & TomTom shows for 2011.

Mike

[David E]

Hmm, Sussex Helicopters have now closed their retail premises, though still selling off stock online.

[Michael Hickman]

Hi David,

Thank you for the update, I have edited all of the entries to " (on-line only)", I hope that is OK (if not let me know, and I will change)?

If/when you hear that the on line has also stopped, please let me know and I will remove all links.

best wishes

Mike

[Romeo Whisky]

Great idea - whenever I am in a different area I always try to look in on a local model shop as they are now getting scarce in some areas.

By the way the link worked fine and I use Firefox. (Took a little while to load the map but otherwise great).

Didn't see ...

What we need now is a similar map for club sites.
