Our Pre-owned Buying Service
As established specialists in pre-owned OO/HO Gauge model railways, we’re the best place to come if you’re looking to sell your model trains. Our expertise covers British, continental and American prototypes from all major manufacturers, and we also buy kit- and scratch-built models.
Whether you have a large collection or a handful of items, we can value, purchase and collect your trains. We also buy N Gauge and larger-scale models, so no item is too big, too small or too unusual for us to consider. Our extensive stock includes models from UK-based brands such as Hornby, Bachmann and Heljan as well as overseas products from the likes of Fleischmann, Roco, Trix and Marklin.
We offer excellent prices for your models plus a part exchange service if you’d like to swap them for something from a different scale or era. Distance is no object for us, as we travel throughout the UK (and even abroad) to view collections and can also arrange to have models sent to us from almost anywhere. Alternatively, you can contact us via phone or email to discuss your requirements or pop into our showroom in Skipton, where you’ll find a warm welcome.
At the heart of our service is a friendly and professional approach – we aim to make it as easy and pleasant as possible for you to find a new home for your models. We can pay for your items with cash, cheque or via bank transfer; once a deal is agreed, we’ll take care of all the rest, saving you the cost and hassle of having to photograph, advertise and dispatch your items.
