Excellent service

Excellent service. Went to model show at NEC on the Saturday, saw their stand and asked if they had a wheel cleaner. They did not have one at the exhibition but the friendly staff member, Colin, ordered it from their shop straight away and it arrived on the following Tuesday. Quick and efficient. will definately be using Rainbow again.

An attractive pre-owned item

It was accurately described, fairly priced & protectively packed. This quality of support for on-line customers is exemplary.
Supplementary: My comment a bit serious, but it's a serious business for those of us buying at today's prices. Being able to really trust Rainbow puts their unique range among our top options.

What a tanker.

Many great items on offer from Rainbow railways, a google search on oo tankers lead my partner to a picture of wagon that was very different from most on offer.
Finding out it was exclusive to Rainbow made it a must have purchase,and we are very pleased with its fantastic detail
and construction.
With a very quick delivery, it was a great buy.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're really pleased you've had such a positive experience both online and at the shows. It’s always great meeting customers in person when collecting pre-orders too!

Sure if we had a pound (or Euro) for every good laugh and bit of craic at the shows, we’d probably have enough for another wagon tooling by now! 🍀😂

Your support and kind words about the team mean a lot to us.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're really pleased you enjoyed the service and found the team knowledgeable and helpful. It’s always a pleasure dealing with fellow enthusiasts too!

There’s always a bit of Irish charm and railway chat flying about here — usually alongside a strong cup of tea and somebody saying “go on, just one more loco in the bag!” 🍀😂
