  • I thought we were going to some little shop, but this is like a supermarket

  • Most comprehensively stocked shop, so a great deal to browse among, and find useful items. The staff very helpful and friendly, went to unpack the Bachmann boxes as fast as they came off the delivery truck, to find the items I wished to purchase. Good advice on the correct rail joiners for Peco code 83 (Code 75 FB type); and we had a happy amble through the pros and cons of some newly introduced RTR OO products.

  • My 5-year-old Gaugemaster Prodigy Advance developed a problem. After considering the options I gave Customer Services a call and was advised to send it to them. Posted on Wednesday, received an email with a no charge invoice the following Wednesday and the repaired item on the Friday. Excellent service. 5 Stars

  • We have found Gaugemaster to have the best customer service ever. They are always helpful and informative when phoning them. We sent our Prodigy back for repair (it is at least 2 years old) and it was repaired by replacing a component free of charge. Since then, we have phoned regarding other matters, and they have talked us through the issue and solved it. We cannot praise them enough. If only other companies had this after sales ethic. 5 Stars

  • Very well stocked and lovely store. The staff were very helpful and helped pick out a few products for me. Their own in-store layouts are great for a reference and being next to the warehouse is great for hard-to-get items online. Extremely well stocked across the different brands. Well worth the two-hour drive. Would highly recommend. Website is great as well for ordering.

The range here is big and the staff are more than willing to help. There is a carpark at the back of the shop and the station is literally on their front door.
