"Excellent service from Rails Secondhand "

Rails have made thinning out my rather large collection of OO model railway rolling stock a very easy and smooth process. Email them a list of items and they promptly reply with a fair offer that includes collection. Parcels collected by Parcelforce. Once received and checked payment is always made quickly. Can highly recommend their service.

"Selling a collection to Rails"

Faced with the daunting task of selling my late father's model railway collection, we came across a magazine advert for Rails of Sheffield and I'm so glad that we did.
Not being that familiar with the stock we had, the ability to put together a list through the website by simply entering product codes was a fantastic tool. It could not have been simpler.
Great communication, with a quick response. Once we'd accepted the offer, collection of the items was arranged. Payment was very prompt once the items had been received and checked.
The whole experience was smooth and easy. Thanks.

"Sell your collection with confidence"

I recently bought an item from Rails and was very pleased with it, so I put my trust in them to purchase my model railway collection. They gave me a fair price and I’m happy with the outcome. A great company manned by enthusiasts. I’d truly recommend them to anyone. It was sad when Hattons shut shop but Rails are certainly as good a deal as Hattons ever were. Good to do business with.

"My personal closing down sale."

I am in an unusual situation in that I am unable to continue as a railway modeller and was looking to sell all my O gauge equipment in one lot. I contacted Rails of Sheffield with my list, they made an offer which was acceptable and then arranged collection. A very prompt,efficient and sympathetic transaction.

"Trade in service with Rails"

I had a large collection of trains from my fathers estate and I had catalogued the items so I sent them the list. They replied very quickly, because of work it was easier for me to take the boxes to them on a Saturday. They were very efficient and were very quick to get back to me with a price which I thought was very good. An excellent service and I would recommend them to any body in the same situation.

"A First Rate Service"

I had reason to, unfortunately, dismantle and dispose of my oo scale layout. After reading about the purchase service Rails offered I decided to give it a try. I am certainly not disappointed. Each step was a breeze. Sent of the full inventory with photos and received an offer within 24 hours. They arranged collection by Parcel force, and within a few hours of physically receiving the packages they reconfirmed their offer. No hassle or back-trading, just a smooth and uncomplicated process. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

"Sales to Rails"

I decided to dispose of my TT120 stock as it hadn't, for me, quite lived up to expectations. I contacted Rails who offered me a price which I accepted, asked me to pack it up. and they would arrange free of charge collection. The service from Ben and co in Sheffield was excellent, communication good and payment received promptly. I have nothing but praise for this company.

"Buying my collection "

The company replied to email enquiries regarding buying my N gauge collection and we’re very prompt in their offer with only purposeful questions and I accepted their offer and the arrangement for collection and payment were dealt with quickly. I had several problems with other companies.

"I had some American H0 locos to trade…"

I had some American H0 locos to trade in and sent a list to Rails who responded in rapid time with a very good offer which I accepted. The parcel was collected at no cost to me and once received at Rails the payment was in my bank the next day. Very excellent communication throughout the whole process and Ben was very helpful. If you have any surplus model railway items to sell them I would recommend Rails from my experience.
