The tiny model railway shop that's been running for 50 years

Nestled away in a small village on the Gower Peninsula rests a hidden little model railway and Scalextric shop that has stood the test of time since opening back in 1971.

The store first started as a mail order business but now is a successful family run business that is one of the area's best kept secrets. Having stood the test of time, it is arguably one of the oldest specialist shops in and around Swansea taking anyone who steps through its doors an opportunity to take a step back in time

Phillip Bramley inherited Holt Model Railways and Scalextric from his father. It is a seemingly easy to miss quirky shop with around 30,000 line items to choose from. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
