My favourite model shops are selected with Swiss N-scale in mind. All of them stock other scales but the comments are limited to my particular interests. Apart from saying that all the shops have always given me friendly and efficient service I cannot offer any other guarantee. I would also like to stress that I have no financial interest in any of the dealers listed
