We are very fortunate to be able to stock all the leading model railway manufacturers of British outline ranges and as a result are increasing our shelf space and display counters to offer even more choice. Thanks Mark All the joy of flat packs hehe. Personally I'd say the first stage of assembly is make a cuppa... Seriously though good luck in your expanded venture and I might have to order an item or two. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Andrew D Posted March 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2022 VERY impressed with the great service from Rainbow Railways at Model Rail Scotland. While some of the vendors seemed to want to just shift boxes, Mark at Rainbow Railways spent a lot of his time sharing his knowledge with me to help me look out for the right kind of stock I wanted to go with the loco I had just bought. It wasn't sales talk, but a genuine desire to help and a depth of knowledge of the market you'd only get from a true enthusiast. Really decent and knowledgeable people, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I would have to say I agree. I too had a good chat with Mark and I thought the effort he’d gone to with his stand was way more impressive than the norm with many locos displayed in the glass cases. Hope it worked out well for you and your efforts were rewarded Mark. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hello everyone, Just to let you know we are attending DEMU showcase exhibition this coming weekend 23/24th at Sutton Coldfield. We hope to see you there. thanks Mark 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Scottish-Exile Posted July 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just to say thanks for the 2 stunning Bachmann Class 90's I've received over the past couple of months. The livery application on both is absolutely stunning. A very satisfied customer. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Where’s the “jealous” button? RR does a seriously nice job of their repaints 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Thank you both for the kind comments. Glad you like the models. I still want the original Malcolm livery for myself to pair with the Collectors club model in red. The Bachmann class 90 is a very good model and we will do more. We do keep a customer/request list so if you want a certain 90 livery we are out of stock on just drop me a PM with name and contact number and which loco you’d like and as and we we produce them we can call and see if you still want it. We can do with and without sound as well. Thank you Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Well if we are allowed to wishlist... I'd really like to see the First Great Western local lines on both the Bachmann 150/2 and 158. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted March 22, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Just received a strange e-mail this afternoon. Supposedly from Wordpress and titled "Wallet Updating Notification" with a reply address of sales@rainbowrailways.co.uk The e-mail says "Merchant has credited your wallet byGBP 1". I have bought from Rainbow Railways in the past but have no record of having a "wallet" with them, nor can I think of any reason why they would gift me one pound. Have they been hacked?

Bedlington North Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I've had this too. I did then log into my account on the Rainbow Railways website and the £1.00 credit is showing up there. It's strange indeed.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Rich_F Posted March 22, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) I have an account but have never bought anything at Rainbow Railways & had this. Went into my bank account & 100% all fine. Must be a scam going around. Edited March 22, 2023 by Weeny Works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedlington North Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 It's not a scam email if their website shows a credit of £1.00. That credit is not to customers bank accounts - indeed it can't be as RR don't have my bank details. It's something different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted March 23, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2023 It looks like @MRDBLUE17 may be linked with Rainbow going by the Accurascale 37 thread, perhaps Mark can assist? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s genuine - they have set up a new system to allow people to make payments as and when for pre-orders but it also seems to have given everyone a pound who has an account. 3 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing 'dodgy' about Rainbow Railways, as I have known Colin & Mark for years, so if anyone needs the new Rainbow Railways/Railtrack Limited editions coming later this year from them, get enquiring now!!! 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's correct for you to quote me and imply that I said the company are dodgy. My post did not say that at all. I said it was strange that my account with them was credited with £1 for no reason. Still, don't let that stop you getting a plug in for your own products.... 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Hello everyone, Sorry for any concerns caused for all our customers who have an account registered with us yesterday. We have introduced a new facility on the website which will allow you to add credit into a secure wallet. It’s something that’s been requested especially with the ever growing number of items to pre-order. As part of activating this function, £1 has been deposited into your wallet. All safe & secure but you’ve gained an extra £1 on us. All the best Mark 5 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
