We opened ModelActive in 1999 in the old Sunday School room of an old chapel. We have expanded twice to give us
extra space for the growing ranges of products. We are now situated in the main Chapel, which is a lovely light
and airy room with plenty of room to display our huge range of products.
We have an excellent range of Radio Controlled Cars, helicopters, tanks, boats and planes, and hop ups and
spares for them. Our Railway department has G-gauge, OO and N, and a massive range of scenics and accessories to
bring them to life. We also take pride in our fantastic selection of plastic kits, paints and glues.
We have only got a fraction of our products on the website, just because we don't have it listed doesn't mean we
don't have it in.
Our first website went live in early 2000, our second update was 2006 and this is our third version. We aim to add more of our products, add better descriptions and still keep our prices the lowest on the web.
How to find us
We are situated on the A167 1 mile south of Chester-le-Street heading towards Durham. We have ample free parking
at the shop.
