This shop has been extended a few times over the years. First was opening up to access the conservatory which the original small layout that was extended into the conservatory which has since been dismantled to increase more space for stock. Where the model kits are now once stood a wall, since opened up and extended to display the kits and tools, also the new layout was built, that happened as there was another model shop in Wakefield that closed down that necessary for us to extend the shop to stock the model kits and paints. I work there 3 days a week, mostly doing repairs/servicing customers locos, and also testing and servicing shop stock locos as u see on the shelves. Also do DCC decoder fitting, and technical help. And also supporting Jon helping out in the shop when he gets ready for exhibitions when he loads the van, or depending on the distance that hes having to go early on the day to get there on the long distance ones which i run the shop. Sometimes i help out on the bigger local exhibitions.
Love this shop, glad you guys took a trip there. I've moved too far from here now to be able to pop in anymore which is a real shame. Absalute best trade in prices Ive come across in person and fantastic service. Cheers Shaun
Going Loco is my local shop. I have had some real bargains from them. The staff are always nice to deal with too. As someone has already mentioned its great to be able to get up close and feel the product, unlike the internet. I really enjoy been able to actually get a true grasp of size especially with buildings, I know how they will be on the layout. It is a great shop and business.
Hi both. Another excellent video in support of our local model shops. I'll be popping into Great Eastern Models later this week to see what's new there (I've watched your video of your visit).
I like making the Kitmaster kits. The toolings are well and truly knackered but with patience, Tamiya extra thin cement, Vallejo paints and some good weathering pencils can make a good looking wagon for a tenner.
Super video enjoyed watching. We have lost a number of specialist model railway shops in Bristol. Always loved to spend time in shops like this. Glad to see you supporting them. Cheers Paul.
I’ve never been but have bought off Going Loco a couple of times online, including a faulty Harry Needle class 20, the service I received was superb, great model shop 🙂
Rick and Pauline. A marvellous video, mainly because Going Loco is my local model railway shop. Not many are left now sadly, but always worth a visit to GL and see the latest stock, have a rummage through the second hand and also pick up magazines and catalogs.
great video and this probably is the best way to run a model railway shop today , Familyowned, in a nice suburb, in your own property, (probably and in the old days the shopkeeper used to live upstairs) and they are also doing business online. I wish the shop and its owners all the best ! Thanks !
I love the name of the store 😅 Rick I didn't say much lol in this video because I was just captivated with it all mate lol!!!! + a Corgi too wow and I do like all of the English buildings. Is it hard for you to see all of this and not want to get just $$$$ of stuff lol. I get it we all are doing this cheaply right 🙄. + a layout too wow. Nice you did get something see you later cheers mate!!!!!
Hi Brad, well I have learned to show restraint. I was tempted by the sad looking Diesel but somebody bought it! We bought a diecast car for our layout but that was all on this occasion. Thanks for watching and all the best Rick.
I was a bit bored by your comment so I dismantled my Corby Trouser Press. I can’t put it back together again. Will that show up on my bill?” All the best Rick
Really great video from you both always variety and interesting makes me definitely want travel to visit shops not in my area. Keep up your great productions top channel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻
A very unique shop with the flooring... my ADD brain wanted to color code the flooring to products. The green tile area should be Metcalf... lol... Ahh well, another beautiful shop and wishing them success all the way.
Another great shop tour. Thanks for doing these and supporting loco or should I say local model shops. I love rummaging around the second hand items and the boxes of odd bits and bobs. I grew up in Yorkshire now I am on the other side of the world. We have very few shop like this down under, nowhere near the amount in the UK. I always like to support our local shop though. There's always a treasure or two when I pop in. Shout out to Mayland Models in WA. Keep supporting your local shops.
Ha ha yes you will hear the term kettles used in a few forums lol. Personally I love kettles (and steak locos) Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Rick
Hi Rick & Pauline, next time you go into that shop, ask the owner if he wouldn't adopt me? Tell him, I'm a good cook & love trains, maybe that helps.😜 Now serious, what a nice shop and an exquisite range for for everyone, new, second hand, scenery and craft materials I really love it. This is actually not good for my blood pressure, so manny goodies. That is what I miss here, as a Belgian British collector, not to be able to go on a regular base, into a shop where everything is what's my domain of intrest. But It's defiantly on my bucket list, to plan a road trip and do some model shop hopping in the UK. Does the shop do internet trading, and is there a website? In the meanwhile I go and run my kettles🤣 By the way, the nick name we Belgian train drivers give to diesel loco's are "stove pipes" 😜 Cheers, Danny
Ha ha, yes there is a website with a good mail order system. The info is in the video link, all the best to you and your kettle collection. Cheers Rick
hi, the booster loco from the southern railway is an electric loco and does not have diesel engine like the cl 73's, a book is available to buy on these locos,
if you had come 10 years ago, there used to be an amazing model shop elsewhere in wakefield, it really had everything. but the owner was retiring and nobody wanted to takeover
Pretty good when we went and changes day to day. They also attend model railway shows and always have a nice selection of stock. Thanks for watching Rick
At 4:40 , the shop owner is too polite to correct you that there is nothing diesel about the booster locomotives at all. Pure electric but flywheel type arrangement to provide its own electricity for third rail gaps etc. In shops i often hear staff not wanting to correct some even more far fetched ideas in case that might create friction and lose a sale.
Again another brilliant video.What a shop!You wouldn’t doze off serving with that door buzzer. Thanks again for your support for local shops.😊
Thanks very much Michael, indeed that bell would keep you open all hours. 😀😀

Glad you enjoyed the video, it was a pleasure to visit the shop and we wish them all success in the future.
Great video, I still prefer shops like this over all the internet crap.
Nothing better than seeing a model in real life before buying.
Cheers Ed

I was a bit bored by your comment so I dismantled my Corby Trouser Press. I can’t put it back together again. Will that show up on my bill?” All the best Rick
@@wellchuffedrailways Yes, it's on the same bill as the film watched for 15 minutes😜

Does the shop do internet trading, and is there a website?

Ha ha, yes there is a website with a good mail order system. The info is in the video link, all the best to you and your kettle collection. Cheers Rick
OVS Bulleid went onto to be CME of CiE in Ireland - thats probably why you look at the Booster and it reminds you of Irish diesels.
That explains it, thanks very much! 😀
Great shop love to visit it put to far from wiltshire cost by train to London then up to yorkshire wow cost😮
Great video as usual
Thanks very much Caroline. 😀
hi, the booster loco from the southern railway is an electric loco and does not have diesel engine like the cl 73's, a book is available to buy on these locos,

My local shop. Shame I missed you 👍
I’ve been here!
Hi guys, is the shop anywhere near the Station?
Hi Stuart, I've no idea but you can get directions off their website which is in the video link.
From Outwood Station it's a long walk to Going Loco, along Potovens Road or Lane!!! Guess it's at least a kilometre walk.
What’s their second hand selection like
Pretty good when we went and changes day to day. They also attend model railway shows and always have a nice selection of stock. Thanks for watching Rick
@@wellchuffedrailways thanks guys I’ll have to check it out
never been to wakefield can any one send directions from the train station
I think directions might be on their website, link in the video description.
At 4:40 , the shop owner is too polite to correct you that there is nothing diesel about the booster locomotives at all. Pure electric but flywheel type arrangement to provide its own electricity for third rail gaps etc.

Hi John, not sure why I referred to it as Diesel when it's got a great big pantograph on the roof! All the best Rick
Me Hornbee be letting me down, she overheats and started a blaze after hitting me Plasticville Diner.
Darn that sounds bad!
