Bachmann Europe Plc have awarded Neil and Jill Gladwin of J & N Models of Louth the coveted “Bachmann Retailer Of The Year” award for 2005. Located in Unit MU5 in the New Market Hall in the Lincolnshire town of Louth, the company only started trading in October 2004.
From the start they have aimed to provide their customers with a broad selection of items from all scales of the Model railway scene. "By doing this we have gained a good reputation for supplying items that modellers cannot obtain from other stores" said Neil. J&N stock all products from the Bachmann Portfolio including Ott-Lite and Liliput and offer100% railways and accessories. "We like to do a good job with a single product category rather than a bad job of several" said Jill.
Since opening, J&N have developed their G scale business. "Aristocraft track and Spectrum large scale items have been selling very well" said Jill. "We are waiting for the launch of the Aristocraft class 66 to get more UK modellers interested in G scale" They have even personally delivered this large scale railway system to a local customer.
"By keeping good stocks of all ranges we are usually able to satisfy any customer that walks through the door, or order it from a supplier if we should not have the exact item available" said Neil. "We pride ourselves on good service with a smile"
Second hand collections are brought and sold so there is always something new available to visitors every time they visit.
David Haarhaaus Sales & Marketing Manager of Bachmann Europe said “what particularly impressed us with J & N Models was the way that they saw opening a Bachmann account as the key to the door of a whole Bachmann family of products and not just our British ranges. As we all travel more, interest in American, Chinese and European models continues to grow. J & N Models realised this from day one and will go out of their way to help customers obtain the items they want. Our congratulations go to Jill and Neil on achieving this recognition so early in their business life”.
