We Buy Model Railways & Toy Trains in East Sussex

Are you clearing out an attic in Lewes, downsizing a collection in Eastbourne, or looking for a specialist buyer in Brighton? Selling a model railway collection can be a daunting task, but we provide a friendly, expert service designed to make the process as simple as possible for residents across East Sussex.

We don't just buy "stock" - we are enthusiasts who understand the time, passion, and investment that goes into every layout. Whether it’s a modern digital (DCC) setup or a vintage collection of steam locomotives, we offer fair market valuations and a personal touch.

A professional service for every scale

From the intricate detail of smaller scales to the impressive presence of garden railways, we purchase all major gauges:

  • N Gauge: We are keen buyers of Graham Farish and Dapol, including modern 'Blue Era' and steam locomotives.

  • OO Gauge: The heart of British modelling. We buy Hornby, Bachmann, Heljan, and Accurascale collections and more.

  • HO Scale: European and American models from brands like Roco, Fleischmann, and Rivarossi.

  • O Gauge: From fine-scale Darstaed and Heljan to vintage tinplate Hornby Series and Bassett-Lowke.

  • G Scale & Gauge 1: Large-scale outdoor models from LGB, Piko, and Bachmann Big Haulers.
