Fond Farwell to Hatton’s.
The model railway community bids farewell to a longstanding pillar of the industry – Hatton’s Model Railway. After an impressive 77 years in business, Hatton’s, once a formidable competitor, has closed its doors, leaving enthusiasts and hobbyists with a mixture of nostalgia and sorrow.
As Hatton’s loyal customers reminisce about the cherished memories and experiences shared within its walls, we, at Rails, extend our heartfelt appreciation for the role Hatton’s played in shaping the model railway landscape. While it’s undoubtedly a sad moment for the community, we want to emphasise the importance of embracing change and looking toward the future.
As a fellow enthusiast and provider in the model railway industry, Rails of Sheffield understands the sentimental value attached to Hatton’s. However, we invite Hatton’s customers to discover the unique offerings and personalised service we provide to ensure the hobby thrives for years to come. At Rails, we are committed to carrying the torch forward, offering an extensive range of quality products, a commitment to excellence, and a passion for serving the community.
We encourage those disappointed by Hatton’s closure to consider Rails of Sheffield as their new destination for all their model railway needs. Our dedicated team is ready to welcome you with the same passion, knowledge, and personalised attention that you enjoyed at Hatton’s. Together, let’s build upon the rich history of model railway and create new memories that will last for generations.
While the industry undergoes this transition, Rails of Sheffield stands as a beacon, ready to provide a home for enthusiasts seeking high-quality products and exceptional service. Join us in embracing the future of model railway, and let Rails of Sheffield be your partner on this exciting journey.
We wish all the Hatton’s team of staff the best for the future.
