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.

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.
