Excellent as always, even internationally.
You can't fault Rainbow Railways for their massive catalogue and their excellent service. Have known Mark for over 20 years now. Always a gentleman and always helpful. My big Kato Unitrack order to the Netherlands was handled in no time and A+ as well. Thanks for doing business.

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.
