Both wagons and boxes are as described, in great used condition. Manufactured mainly of plastic the wagons and loads are well engineered and detailed. The plastic loads are finished in red oxide. All sold at a very competitive price. Great communications by the seller. More than happy to recommend this excellent Ebay seller.

    Excellent service once again from Rails: clear description on the website, very good value, prompt postage (came several days earlier than anticipated) and good environmental (plastic-free) packaging. Clear communication too with the seller. Thank you!

    As always Rail’s of Sheffield accurately described the items (cargowaggons) Communication excellent as I asked why two postage costs (£8) for two wagons and was told by Jamie that the extra £4 postage would be refunded and it was very quickly. Delivery was quick ,all in all Rails are a great company to deal with.

    Excellent service again. Accepted seller's special 20% discount offer. Parcel delivered this morning 3/11/25 in a rather battered condition - see photos. Fortunately the seller had wrapped the model wagon in tissue paper and then two layers of bubblewrap which ensured that the wagon was not damaged in transit. The wagon itself was all as described and appearance and condition matched listing photographs. Overall, a quality transaction from a seller whom I will use again. Thank you very much!.
