George C Gray Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Just a wee note to say that I got a couple of renumbered and detailed class 37 Bachmann locos from Rainbow Railways. Both in Scottish refined BR blue livery one is a Motherwell 37/3 the other an Eastfield 37/0 with white stripe. Both excellent models and a very happy customer Edited October 18, 2020 by George C Gray To reflect shop name 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 You’d be better off changing the title to reflect the vendor , so people can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I’ve had spare bodies and noses from them - always good service ! Their resprays Look factory quality - I think they use serious kit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted October 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 18, 2020 I bought the AMRSS limited edition Bachmann 47708 Waverley from Rainbow Railways, which had been professionally weathered by them. Price was only £10 more than the unweathered version and the weathering was very well done and really brings the 47 to life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbos Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Rainbow Railways have now opened a shop in Linlithgow, it opened on Wednesday. It’s within the cafeteria of ‘Playbugs’ children’s soft play centre in the Littlemill Business Park. Unit 24 Little Mill Business Park Linlithgow Bridge Linlithgow West Lothian EH49 7DA. Arran Aird of C-Rail will be there on Saturday with some of his latest products. Great to see a new Model Railway shop opening and when the play centre reopens, hopefully helping to create a future generation for our hobby. I have no links with this business other than a satisfied customer. Brian. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Hi, We did do a few Northern Spirit 156’s last year so it is possible to do one like that in the future. The only issue is until the next batch get produced there isn’t enough models available. We do have a few of the Provincial and Barbie livery units in stock thanks to Charlie for sending them up but they won’t hang around for long judging by the interest last week. As for the 158’s they have been extremely popular in Scotrail and Northern bubbles liveries. Every batch we’ve done have sold out within a few hours and we will do more as stock becomes available.

RMweb Gold Matt C Posted May 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2021 Just want to give a shout out to Rainbow Railways New shop in Linlithgow, West Lothian in Scotland (Half an hour from Edinburgh, 40 Minutes from Glasgow) Popped in for a wee look after finding they were there by accident, Very Impressed ! Had a long and Very pleasant chat to Mark the proprietor who is very knowledgeable and made me feel very welcome. Children are welcome and actively encouraged ( I'm sure if the big kids have a quiet word with Mark he 'might' even let them play in the ball pit, Go down the slide or play on some of the other attractions while your younger ones try out the test layout in the shop area The Shop, A great range in stock including :- Hornby Some Bachmann ( more in the pipeline, cmon Bachmann, finger out !) Accurascale Revolution Dapol Heljan Gaugemaster DCC Concepts Cavalex Peco ( he had some points lurking on the counter and the track I ACTUALLY went in for) And several others Ive forgotten Oo and N gauge Lots of accessories and necessities, Paint, rail joiners and most other essential bits and bobs. They also offer in house services from decoder fitting to weathering and probably all points in between Plans are well Advanced to Add more well known names to the Ranges they stock Mark mentioned in passing that they forsee no problems with, and are happy to take Hornby Pre Orders. They do Click and collect, and mail order, (You can ring and chat to Mark or use the website to do click and collect) but beware, if you go on the web site, or indeed wander in with an un secured wallet you do run the risk of leaving with a bag of goodies at very reasonable prices and a lighter wallet Talking to Mark his enthusiasm shines through for the Hobby and I highly recommend A visit P.S. they are on restricted opening times at the moment for physical visits ( wed to sat 10- 5 ) but you CAN order on the website and collect or have it delivered They are hoping to fully open soon. Oh and did I mention they have an in house Cafe ?? Coffee or Tea and Cake. . Whats not to like ! No connection but a delighted customer, happy to see green shoots peaking through in the Scottish model railway retail sector ( cmon guys its not too far, come and support a local retail shop ) Cheers Matt 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDBLUE17 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hello everyone, Just thought a little update that we are delighted to now be official Bachmann stockists. Thanks to Ron and the team at Bachmann, over the coming weeks more Bachmann, Graham Farish, Scenecraft and Woodland scenic products will be arriving in store and on our website. As items arrive or confirmed orders are placed, products will be added to the website for purchase or pre-order in the case of future releases. This couldn’t have come at a better time with the exciting announcement of the new class 47’s. The SFX versions are already proving very popular. Thanks for the kind words above and to all our customers who have ordered online/phone and visited so far. Many thanks Mark 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
