I last reviewed this shop some time ago. I asked them to obtain some items for me and then due to receiving a diagnosis of cancer was unable to spend money on trains for a while. They kindly kept the items for almost a year for me. They also sent me emails checking on how I was! as a result my estimation for them has now gone through the roof. I also buy things from other, larger, stores and the experience is much less warm and friendly. If you like that sort of thing then that is the sort of thing that you like. I know that I prefer the personal touch and the knowledge and experise that janes' trains fantastic staff have in abundance.

Really helpful - I haven't been collecting for the last few years, because I didn't have anywhere to set up my layout, so I was needing advice. The staff were friendly, and gave me great advice especially on converting my layout to dcc. The shop is well laid out, and has a great selection of models, including second-hand ones which are definitely worth looking through - you can inspect and run the models too. Their website is also great for browsing their stock, and appears to be kept up-to-date. i'd recommend janes trains to anyone.

Jane's trains is a treasure trove of all that is good in the model railway world. Excellent new items, well maintained second-hand items and bargain boxes of bits and pieces. like the previous reviewer I have found that the helpful and friendly staff (It is nice to shop where they remember your name) are happy to put items to one side until your are ready to purchase. although this is a small family run business they carry a great range of stock and are more than willing to order in anything that they don't have. they have commissioned a coal wagon of a local supplier "C morrell & Sons" a number of which now sit nicely on my layout.

Superb "Old fashioned" Model shop. Not big nor hugely stocked but lots of interesting bit and bobs and staff who made the environment most pleasent and were happy to let me sit on the floor and fish through boxes of 2nd hand rolling stock ect. Service was superb and prices seemed fine. Recommended!

I bought two locomotives from them and the whole transaction from start to finish was as smooth as one could possibly wish. Having made initial contact I was unable to proceed with the purchase due to a family mishap. Janes Trains kindly offered to put my items to one side and keep them for me until I was able to proceed and complete the deal, even though it took several weeks from the initial point of contact. They were lovely to deal with, friendly, helpful and very co-oprative. Their communications were excellent and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to other prospective buyers. Nor would I hesitate to buy anything from them again myself, in fact I propose to do just that as soon as possible.
