I wanted to buy something simple

I wanted to buy something simple. Your inventory came out as something I wanted. Place an order? No you want me to open an account. Which I did. I gave you my details and created an account. Email and a password.
Soon as I went on to the main site again I was asked to log in. No worries. Email and password. That ive just given while opening the account is not recognised.
Are you deliberately taking the piss? Or are you just relying on your web advisor to mess it all up for you. Or are you capable of messing it up yourselves. You have lost a customer through this. I am not a well man and cannot deal with stress anymore. Hence why I do this hobby.
All I wanted were a few coach lights pick ups. But I'll get them elsewhere now.

GREAT advice, super prices, prompt despatch.

GREAT advice, super prices, prompt despatch.
Reaffirms my view that real shops with real people who are not only fluent in English and go out of their way to help you need to be supported - The online giants offer the last two, but not the advice.

Good item, excessive postage

The pulleys I ordered were as described and once modified (as I had expected) did the required job perfectly. However I was charged nearly £6 postage for what could have gone in an envelope for large letter price

Magnificent support

Magnificent support, with a website full of incredibly valuable guidance to inform your purchases. I requested a delayed delivery due my being out of the country. Everything I asked of Railwayscenics was faultlessly carried out. To top it off, I received a follow up email, thanking me for my custom and offering me further support if required.

A hidden gem!

Came to the website whilst on the hunt for some wiring for my new layout. Very impressed by the big range of cables and accessories, all of which were in stock at great prices. I'll most certainly be checking out other items, and returning for more should I need any!
