Pleasure to recommend 'FOOTPLATE' To everyone, Accurate descriptions. Excellent safe packing. Quality items. Great Website always worth checking out, Excellent all round.

Helpfull and very swift service, thanks👍

Good price. Great service. Loco was dispatched promptly and well packed

My engine arrived very quickly… even in this run up to Christmas… very well packaged and runs a treat. I’ll be back!

Ordered at the Wigan show, too large to carry on public transport and would not be home for a week, so asked for a delayed posting. Arrived as requested in great condition.

Friend is a real model railway fanatic so it’s great to be able to purchase a gift token on-line, rather than having to visit the shop.
Enables him to have the choice to buy at his leisure

Loved the very informative website, open and honest about the condition of the locomotives and rolling stock they’ve got for sale.
I bought an old locomotive which was in excellent condition, and a lovely Micro Trains hopper. Both were in their original boxes and were excellently packaged. Delivery was quick and on time.
All in all a good company I know I can trust.

Another fantastic purchase from Footplate - excellent price, detailed description and fast postage.

Highly recommended and best of all, sign up to their daily email newsletter, you’ll never know- you may find a loco that you always wanted!

Great service great prices every time I have had some great bargains from FOOTPLATE and delivered fast.

Found a pre-owned Bachmann class 37 for sale at Footplate, great condition and very reasonably priced.
Packing and delivery excellent, was kept informed all the way.
Great railway model shop, will definitely use again.

Have bought a few items from.this company now I have always been very pleased their communication is excellent, they post things very quickly +always very well packaged

The two G Scale wagons that I ordered from Footplate arrived promptly, safely and were in excellent condition even though "pre-owned". Their prices were very fair.

I’ve been trying to resurrect an old model railway, and I had no working trains. Footplate was the only place I could find second -hand trains at a reasonable price, so they were in fact the only place I could go. Train arrived promptly (well, apart from Royal Mail being stupid) and runs nicely, what more could I want?

Was easy to order off the website great prices and lots of choice, delivered in good time will definitely look to order again in the future.

A superb website, an excellent price, quick delivery and a customer friendly online ordering process.

Excellent prices always posted promptly and well packed always good communication

Great value and really easy to purchase.

Arrived promptly and well protected.

The buying experience has improved even more now. I made a suggestion in my last review and it has been implemented. All rolling stock is now listed as a single item not a pack of, say, three - 10 out of 10!
Faultless transaction with fair price and postage throughout, thank you.

Of the three big railway shops I rate them first. Have had many secondhand purchases from them and what pleases me most is that their comments on the quality are detailed enough, but on the ball. Of the three they are the easiest to get to the descriptions and comments of quality. With new, also on the ball with service. Never had a reason to grumble about packaging or the speed of delivery. Of the big three I feel most comfortable with Footplate than the other two.

An amazing experience with all the help you could possibly need. Bought locos at an outstandingly low and I would say sensible price. This company has my full and sincere recommendation to all collectors and modellers.
Thank you.
