We have been privileged to purchase some of New Zealand’s best vintage toy and model train collections… from electric OO Triang, Hornby, HO Marklin trains and clockwork Hornby O to important 100 year old Gauge 1 vintage locomotives. We buy all clockwork, electric & steam trains.
When long-time collectors decide to sell, they approach us as trusted & respected buyers, willing to pay a fair price for their treasured items. If you have old trains for sale, start by contacting the New Zealand market leader.
“When you are ready to sell your model train collection, you should expect two things: A good price and a pleasant transaction.
We are fair and reasonable buyers with a genuine love of old toys & trains.
We purchase a wide variety of model trains including Z, N,Treble-O,TT,HO & OO, O Gauge & larger trains.
We specialise in Tri-ang, Hornby-Dublo, Marklin, Hornby O Gauge, Basset-Lowke, Lionel, New Zealand & Australian trains, live steam and antique German trains.
We are also keen buyers of more modern OO / HO Hornby, Bachmann, Marklin and Mamod etc.
We talk in a straight forward manner about your items for sale. No tricks, no pressure, no slick approach.
Phone or email us. Distance is no object. We can travel NZ-wide to view your collection. Whatever you decide, our dealings will remain completely private.”
