The Model Centre - TMC

General information

WHO WE ARE

The Model Centre (TMC) is a small family run business. Our close-knit team includes railway modellers and dedicated railway enthusiasts, all of whom endeavour to provide you with the premium service and expert standards that we are associated with today.

WHAT WE DO

Here at TMC we specialise in custom finish models. Custom finish models can include anything from a simple weathering, to renaming and renumbering locomotives and rolling stock. We pride ourselves on the consistent professional finish achieved on every model.

We stock all major brands across all gauges and trade at competitive discounted prices, usually around a 15% reduction on the recommended retail price.

WHERE WE ARE

We can be found in the small village of Beck Hole, which is located within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Our prime location is situated within walking distance of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway line, where steam trains run regularly throughout the year.

Also available at our idyllic setting are three executive holiday cottages, one B&B room, and two static caravans. Hill Farm Holliday Cottages allow you to take advantage of the great outdoors, or provide a perfect place to relax and unwind.

OUR HISTORY

TMC was founded in 1998 as the Trafford Model Centre, operating from the Festival Village store in The Trafford Centre, Manchester. TMC grew rapidly, to such an extent that a head office was established in Tockwith, and several more shops were opened in Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Dudley, and Liverpool, all of which were acquired by ModelZone.

The TMC brand was later separated from ModelZone, and is now a fully established mail order company and professional custom finish service. Operating from North Yorkshire, there is a showroom and workshop for visitors to look round.
