There is a real mix of prices there. Some are real bargains others cheaper to buy new. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted January 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2017 A lot of model shops trade in pre-owned or secondhand but only a few list items on there website Our local model railway shop has quite a large range of secondhand at present Topp Trains Marston Road Stafford Eltel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2017 Alton Model Centre has an excellent, and sensibly priced, 'pre-owned' section but I don't think Paul lists it on the 'net. If you want to pay through the nose for 'pre-owned' then Rails and Hattons are the places to go judging by some of their adverts and Ebay entries - on occasion Hattons have even offered 'pre-owned' models at higher prices than other places have the same thing available new.

Ed-farms Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 http://tri-angman.co.uk/shop/ has some stuff on his website, he does a few shows in the north east of England as well. Have dealt with him before and he is a really nice chap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted January 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yes Triangman is very good. He managed to find me an old Triang Hornby Turntable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold colin penfold Posted January 13, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2017 Rails Ebay shop sometimes have "or best offer" prices and have accepted sensible offers from me before AC Models Eastleigh do second hand via Ebay and I have had good stuff from them Trains 4U have used stuff on their website but I have not bought used from them I agree with others that S and J are good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted January 14, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2017 Some shops appear to offset some bargain prices for new models with second hand prices which are ridiculously high. Not OO I know, but I have always experienced good service and attractive prices when buying from Contikits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted January 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've bought a couple of things from these people before, in both cases described as good but they were mint when received and very well packed http://www.classicrail.co.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sidelines Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I have had excellent service from Ian Hunter (The Junction Box - Haltwhistle). Over the last year I have had three items, all 'like new' and well packed. I do believe that he can be found at various shows in Scotland and the north of England, as well as online. Another happy customer. Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted January 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Alton Model Centre has an excellent, and sensibly priced, 'pre-owned' section but I don't think Paul lists it on the 'net. If you want to pay through the nose for 'pre-owned' then Rails and Hattons are the places to go judging by some of their adverts and Ebay entries - on occasion Hattons have even offered 'pre-owned' models at higher prices than other places have the same thing available new. Rails will accept offers but if you are prepared to be hard nosed and walk away when they make a counter offer that you don't find palatable then you can get a reasonable buy.It depends on you.....if you know the market.Hattons pre owned is a joke.Rails do guarantee for a period.I suspect also that they siphon off new stock onto eBay .Postal charges are just £2 whereas by Internet mail order it's £4:50.and sometimes their ebay prices are actually cheaper than shop stock.Bizarre ...

Fluo66 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have also bookmarked these shops but I never bought there: http://www.rushvicmodels.co.uk https://www.shadylanemodels.co.uk http://www.kingstrains.co.uk I can confirm Ian's good service (Junction Box). He has very often irresistible prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 A good number of shops have a presence on eBay, without having a 'pre-owned' section on their website per-se. Rails is the obvious example, but there are a great many others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hoping i have just picked up a 57xx Pannier DCC ready for £45 from Ian at The Junction Box/ This model arrived promptly, well packaged and as described, I've been back for more today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has very often irresistible prices. I have bought a Heljan Class 58 from Kings Trains and delivered very fast and well packaged and exactly as described - cannot fault them. Frizinghall at Bradford and KJB Models at Castleford (No connection), haven't actually used them but regularly brose there web sites Have used Rails and found there service excellent, fast,and well packaged, will definatly use them again. I have bought several from KJB both direct and via eBay and delivered fast and well packaged and exactly as described - cannot fault them. Cheaper to buy direct though. I buy a lot from Rails but usually when they have special offers on - currently waiting on a 66 from them as it happens.
