There is no MRR shop on Madeira island, but there are "unrelated" hobby shops in Funchal, e.g. Afonso Modelismo (inter alia model ships) and Cubos Luminosos (kid toys). Searching the internet for keywords as "loja modelismo" or "commercio modelismo" might yield further results. You could approach the shopkeepers and enquire about model railroaders in the vicinity.
Good luck !

Re; God's waiting room is also used in Florida. My aunt lived in Lady lake and you heard an ambulance about every 10 minutes.
She had still been driving and her car had dents from hitting mail boxes.
