Toymaster isn't a chain as such but a "...National Association of
locally owned specialist toy shops who combine to bring you REAL service
and REAL value.." (lifted from a Yahoo search). So just because 2 stores
are closing doesn't necessarily mean the rest will. However
http://www.toymaster.co.uk/areas.htm has a list of the stores so we can
keep an eye on them.

Whatever the story, today was my TM's last day, and my FOTW.

Hogwart's Express, which they'd had on display - just the train and
carriage, no instructions or platform - they accepted my 10UKP offer.
And then subsequently discounted that by 33% (as per everything in the
store).   So, Engine and Carriage for 6.66UKP - not too bad.

Turns out it was missing a wheel - no matter, the car wheels it had
have all been replaced with proper train wheels and bogeys, and a motor
added, so it's now been running around my train layout.  Need to order
some more train wheels and bogey plates I think.

I'm after loads of those spoked car wheels, any chance of a sale or trade?

(...) It's your lucky day: (URL) placed all 17 wheels and 9 axle plates in my shop, and they will cost you a staggering $2.85 for the lot. Cheers, Peter (22 years ago, 25-Jan-03, to lugnet.loc.uk)
