Our Pre-Owned Buying Service
We’ve been purchasing pre-owned model railways for over a decade and during that time have established ourselves as the first port of call for many satisfied customers looking to re-home their models.
We’ve seen it all, from the quirky to the everyday and from individual models to large collections where you just don’t know where to start. We buy high-quality models in all scales from all manufacturers, as well as specialist kit- or scratch-built items.
We’re able to offer market-leading prices, and you’ll always find us friendly, professional and down-to-earth. We often travel far and wide to view larger collections, where listing what you have can seem like an impossible task. Equally, we can provide valuations via phone or email – whatever your circumstances, we’ll work with you to understand your needs.
If you’re looking to sell your models, your first point of contact is our Pre-Owned Manager Dave Martin. Dave has a wealth of experience together with an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things model railway-related and is an expert valuer with a passion for great customer service.
We can pay for your models via cash, cheque or bank transfer – either on collection or after you’ve accepted our offer. Alternatively, you may wish to part-exchange your items for some of the thousands of new and pre-owned models we stock. This is particularly useful for those of you wishing to try out a new scale or era of modelling.
I also work closely with my father Andrew (of Andrew Clark Models), who has specialist knowledge of die-cast and tinplate. Andrew buys single items or whole collections of cars, lorries, buses, aeroplanes and tinplate soldiers, as well as a wide range of memorabilia and collectibles from yesteryear.
For more information or advice, please contact us via phone or email.
