"Rails recently bought some model…"

Rails recently bought some model railway equipment from me. Their customer service & communication was excellent throughout. From the initial first offer through arranging for the items to be collected from me to the payment by bank transfer. I cannot fault them. Thank you.

"Selling some OO Gauge Locomotives"

I Decided to sell some OO Gauge locomotives and received great service from Rails of Sheffield. Based upon a detailed list they gave me an estimate, which was very competitive. They arranged for a courier to pick up the parcel at no cost to me and paid the estimated value by bank transfer within a couple of days after they received the parcel.
Great service, helpful and very fast responses by email. Excellent, couldn't fault them.

"Looking to trade in or sell your model railway "

If you’re looking to trade in or sell anything to do with your model railway then Rails is the one stop shop. I recently needed to trade in my American N gauge railroad. This included locos, rolling stock, DCC controllers, vehicles etc, Rails were able to take everything which comprised of almost 100 items. The process is extremely efficient snd very simple to use. Online database makes compiling the list of items so simple. Once submitted and accepted, the items were collected by courier from my home and delivered to Rails next day. I received cash settlement into my bank the following day. The whole process took only 4 days from start to finish. Email queries were answered very quickly. Jake and Ben did an excellent job. Very professional indeed. Can’t recommend this company highly enough.

"Downsizing due to age."

Downsizing due to age so contacted Rails to sell some of my oo gauge locomotives.
Fair price offered and whole process very quick and efficient, Jake and Ben were polite and efficient.
Had some bad experiences selling on a certain online site so this experience was good.

"A simple and quick way to sell the…"

A simple and quick way to sell the models you no longer want. The dedicated website for selling your pre-owned models to Rails of Sheffield is excellent! The “look-up” tool that helps you to create the list of items you want to sell is comprehensive and is flexible enough to find almost anything very quickly. A few more clicks to “assess” your item and then it’s listed. Submit the list and you get an offer in a day or two (even on large lists like mine) and the process of couriering the items to Rails, when you’ve accepted, is so easy for you, the customer, it’s almost too good! I waited just another day or two after the parcels arrived at Rails to get the money they’d offered - unsurprisingly, they want to check what you’ve sent them, but that is quick and easy too. It’s highly likely I will be doing it again, when I want to “refresh” my collection by losing some older models in favour of new releases. Excellent service and great people to deal with.

"Sale of 00 Gauge Rolling Stock"

Having downsized my home I chose to replace a 00 gauge model railway with N gauge. I have now sent two batches of rolling stock to Rails in the past year covering items bought between 1990 and 2022. Jake at Rails covered the latest batch for me and reinforced my confidence that they provide an excellent way to sell off unwanted model railway items. The process was quick, friendly and fair value bearing in mind how simple the process is for the seller.

"My Go To Place for Model Railways"

Great place to get model railway supplies. They offer a decent discount and everything arrives quickly and well packaged.

I've just used their second hand service to sell some of my collection and the experience was fine. Got a fair deal with no quibbling.
