Do You Buy Model Railroad Collections?




Model Rail Inventory allows sellers to select items from their inventory and send them to buyers listed in our Buyers Directory to discuss sales and valuations, all with a few clicks. This saves sellers the time and effort of downloading and editing data in spreadsheets, and having to visit each buyer's website to upload their lists and enter their contact information.

How The Buyers Directory Works

1   Compile List


People wishing to sell their collection select the locomotives and rolling stock from their inventory in Model Rail Inventory.

2   Select Buyers


Your business appears as an option in the directory of professional model railroad buyers.

3   Send Enquiry


If selected you'll receive the seller's list and contact information. You then contact the seller directly to discuss the collection as normal with no further involvement from us.

Buyers Directory Frequently Asked Questions

Being listed in the directory is great exposure for your business. The directory is integrated into our system and you would appear as an option when a list is generated for sales or valuation enquiries. Your business might otherwise be unknown to sellers if you are not a large business and being part of the directory gives you an equal chance of being selected for enquiries.

There is no cost, you can request to be added to the Buyers Directory for free by completing this form. We ask that you consider linking back to us from your website, however this isn't a requirement.

Currently this service is only availble to UK-based businesses. We have a limited number of spaces in the directory to prevent too many options being presented to our subscribers.

The information is sent via email to your registered email address when a potential seller makes an enquiry. The information is formatted in a table and allows easy copy-and-paste to a spreadsheet application, if required.

We send a number of fields, including:

  • Scale / Gauge
  • Railway Company
  • Model Manufacturer
  • Prototype Model
  • Prototype Power Category
  • Model Power Type - Analogue/Digital
  • Weathered Status
  • Sound
  • Box Status
  • Overall Condition
This list is subject to change.

This is a facilitation service. We provide a mechanism to connect people with items to sell (i.e. our customers) with buyers of collections (i.e. businesses like yours). Beyond sending you the seller's list and contact details we have no further involvement in your dealings with the seller.

No, there are no fees to pay.

We don't think so. This service is a lead generation tool for your business. There is no need to change the way you engage with your prospective customers and your unique personal touches will be appreciated by them.
