Superb kits and service.

I bought a 4mm model of Chudleigh Station and unfortunately ran into a couple of small problems with it. Andy has been absolutely fantastic in putting them right.
I would not hesitate in recommending both the kits and the great after service from Rail Model.
Highly recommended A+++++

Having purchased 3 kits (Weighbridge

Having purchased 3 kits (Weighbridge, store and Gorleston Goods Shed) I experienced minor issues with each of them.
Andy dealt with each problem as they were raised with no issues at all, no questions asked. Parts were sent that were missing promptly.
If it weren’t for the complete hassle free experience from Andy I would have rated lower but the excellent customer service Andy gave warrants nothing less then 5 stars.

Great service

Your service was fast and clear. I cannot comment on the kits yet because they take a while to get to New Zealand.
