Great selection of models and accessories for those in the hobby. Great service and fair prices with fast shipping. I get the sense they are customer oriented enjoying the hobby themselves and always look forward to the arrival of each new purchase because they have always given me their best selections when more than one item is available to purchase.
I’ve ordered many items from Trainz. Every transaction has been great. They go out of their way to make sure you have an awesome experience.They are certainly my first choice for all things associated with my trains.
Hello all,Just bought a G scale US Army GP9!! I love it!! It actually moves a lot faster than I expected it. I have a bookshelf rail set up that goes around Half of my house so am scared to see it fly off the rails! It has real good pulling power (14 cars with no problem so far). Trainz had a real good special, practically half price. Shipping was super fast and customer service was primo as well. I used Affirm to get a POS single loan (10x better than using a credit card) that’s also offered by Trainz. Great experience all around. Definitely recommend Trainz to everyone 👍
Excellent experience. Always a pleasure doing business with Trainz.com. Recommend them for all your model railroading needs.
My order arrived quickly and was correct. The items I ordered were of good quality. Trainz has a very large selection of everything.
I have purchased a bunch of trains from them. Always a great experience. Ill keep being a repeat customer.
After placing an order for an N scale locomotive I received it within a reasonable amount of time. However when I opened the box (which was just another larger box that had been cut down) there was no bubble wrap, no paper, just the the locomotive in the factory case. Absolutely inexcusable for what the locomotive cost. Update** I spoke with their customer service and they were very friendly. Turns out this was dropped shipped directly from a vendor so this was not in their control and they said they would speak to them about this.
I have several sets of Williams(Bachmann) passenger cars, all of them are well made with good graphics. The only criticism is that the cars do not have uncoupling tabs on the knuckles, like Atlas, MTH, or Lionel
I purchased a new Lionel Little Train for my grandson. I contacted the Trainz.com to find out the condition of the train prior to making the purchase since it is no longer in production and hadnt been for several years. Trainz.com was fast with the reply and it was everything they said it would be down to the condition of the retail box (I did want to give a gift and the box look like it was bought at a yard sale!!).The shipping was very fast and it was package very well to make sure it wasnt damaged in shipment which was great since I had been looking for one of these trains for months!Over all I am very happy with my total experience at Trainz.com. Super nice people, quick honest answers to your questions (even if your asking what condition the retail box is in) plus fast shipping. Bottom line is I would buy fromTrainz.com again in a heartbeat!!!
My items were shipped very quickly and packaged very well.
Very satisfied with the great service, ease of purchase, as well as the quick shipping. I look forward to doing business again!!
I placed two orders. One item exceeds my expectation. However, the other item is below. Trainz read my reviews and approached me proactively to fully solve the issue. Mistake may happen, but Trainz does care customers satisfactions. For what i know, trainz generally have the cheapest pre owned ho trains. Keep up good job!
The best people to buy trains and train parts from. I have purchased several times from them.
Quick shipping. Item delivered exactly as described.
These cars were in good shape for being post war era cars. I had to do some minor adjustments to them.oil them up a bit,realign some of the couplers a tiny bit for them to stay attached. My 1960s era steam locomotive that I got as a kid from before I could remember pulls all these cars just fine. Of course I had to apply some special stuff to make traction tires that actually gripped and it works good too. I wont advertise what that is in here,but Im sure most already know what that is. All in all I am well pleased . I only had 4 cars to start with,but now have 12 total and they work great. Thank you for helping me to get these cars!
The tracks are fine but I did not receive the faller 171700 shaker bottle could you credit my visa I purchased oneThanks for credit and shakerI will be backJim
Great to deal with, decent prices, and available shipping. I will be doing business with them in the future for a long time.
More professional than many eBay vendors. Timely delivery. Have not yet been able to confirm operational integrity but I am taking the vendors word that it runs.
Trainz is a great place to do business with. They have a wide assortment of electric trains and accessories. Their prices are good and the shipping is reasonable.
I bought a used GP20 demo scheme HO scale locomotive. It did not run. I contacted Trainz.com and they paid postage for me to return it and gave me a full refund. While they shouldnt have sold me a non-running loco they took it back and refunded my money. Satisfied that they did that
Excellent buying experience. Item was exactly as described. Fast shipping. Actually could not have been better.
Very nice car at a reasonable price! Just like I remember from childhood!
Easy to order, sometimes hard to find parts needed. Sometimes I just google the part I need , and it brings me to the page and part I need on Trainz. Great store!
I was looking for a fairly scarce car to go with the USA trains crane car. They had it in right road name and color. Everything about transaction was great. Thanks Scott
Thirty (30) 37 straight sections of Stainless Gargraves track in excellent condition for $129! I have had great transactions with Trainz over the years, and I believe it comes down to simple and concise good communication, just like I did on this auction. Response to my emails were within 15 minutes, and I received exactly as described. Track is very, very expensive, and this was an awesome deal - woohoo!!!! Locowilly.
I ordered five items and I am very pleased with all of them. Everything was just as described and exactly what I needed. Very good website with a good search feature. I will be ordering again soon. Thanks! john p
All items were in good condition and easily installed
I do like the vast number of items available through TRAINZ. The shopping ... for me... an older retired guy ... has been ... somewhat confusing AND difficult ! Through many phone calls and help from staff however .... my problems get resolved. My shopping and understanding is getting better !
Trainz is the WORST place to buy used model trains from. I have tried buying from them several times and every time there are issues (broken and missing pieces, running issues, lights not working, etc.) that they dont mention on their website or in their eBay listings.Its very obvious that all their eBay listings are done by people who have no experience with model trains, because they are always full of errors, contradict themselves, and often say the item is in great condition when you can see obvious missing or broken pieces in the pictures. And any time I have messaged them with questions or issues they never have any idea what Im talking about and it takes days to get a response because they have to check with a supervisor.If you are going to buy used model trains, buy from a real hobby store or any of the great individual sellers on eBay, not from this company that is clearly just trying to move as many items as fast as possible without any expertise or integrity.And dont trust their eBay ratings. Ive left them (completely honest) negative feedback before and they somehow always manage to get eBay to remove it, so their feedback score is totally bogus.EDIT: The response below from Trainz saying I bought a factory sealed item, opened it, and returned it is also completely made up. I have never bought a Lionel item from them at all.
Absolute pleasure to work with. Quality products at a great price. Awesome customer service.
Bought used S Gauge American Models 3-Bay Hopper recently. When it arrived it was actually better than the web photo showed it. Quite pleased with quality and price.
Fantastic customer service. My train arrived promptly, did not function, and they provided a free return. They repaired it quickly and shipped it back immediately. The email response time is superb and they kept me informed. The tech who repaired it also contacted me and explained the repair. They deserve the 5 star review, the customer service is outstanding.
Very professional, good to deal with.
I received my Santa Fe diesel locomotive in a timely manner; however, when I opened the package, the E unit was rattling around loose inside the body of the locomotive. I had to disassemble the engine and reseat the E unit and switch. Also, the engine was not equipped with any traction tires. Otherwise, this 40+ year old locomotive was in good condition. After making these repairs, the engine currently runs well and is quite powerful and responsive. It was still a great value for the price paid. In addition, you were very responsive in giving me a $20 discount when I contacted you about the problems. However, if I was an amateur train enthusiast, I would not have been able to make these repairs and probably would have returned the product. I have dealt with your company in the past with good results, but in the future you should do a better job of quality control before sending similar units out to buyers.Thank You,Robert Rosenberg
Great Items. New Old Stock. Always A Pleasure Dealing With Trainz.
I ordered some items that are hard to find in the states and they delivered them in a timely fashion and for a great price.
Flawless! Everything was perfect. Got the kit undamaged and as shown on the site. I will do business with Trainz.com again.
Runs nice & smoothly, sorry 4 the super late feedback i rarely do feedbacks nowadays again I apologize & ty 4 doing business
The coupler was shipped promptly and packaged well. I am a return customer, very pleased and recommend Trainz.com.
I received my order in a less than a week and they did an excellent package to protect my purchase. If I ever have a need for another product and tranz.com has it, I will definitely order again. Great job guys!
Work great to replace trucks with couplers that will not open or close properly. I need more as well but some I see are way over priced. That`s why I purchased these, affordable price.
I am very happy with my experience with Trainz. I received my order quickly and it met all my expectations.
Excellent source for model railroading hobbyists. Great staff, excellent prices.
Had exactly what I was looking for. The price was the best around. Arrived very well packaged and ahead of schedule. Will be doing future business with Trainz again.
First time buying experience is a good one! Very happy with purchase. Item was described accurately and is working just like new! Their shipping is quick and done expertly with the item well protected from damage during transit. Ill definitely be watching for more great bargains from trainz from here on! Thanks!
Nice accessory. However phone phone booth was badly cracked. Not sure if it was a packaging problem. Your pricing is more than fair.
Fast and true to their word.
Very good as I ordered that Bandai Star Wars- C3PO and R2D2 model kit from Trainz.com. I highly thank them selling and shipping me that model in a well timely manner. This sure is a very awesome model kit to build for Star Wars fans. As I read the instructions that the model is to be built by age range 15 to adult. Young kids would like to have fun building this model kit, but I say they need help from an adult. This is definitely challenging, but with patience to build that model as there are so many parts. Absolutely be careful on very small parts that are easy to lose. Follow the step by step instructions well. This kit comes with both C3PO and R2D2. I build one figure a day, instead of two not to overwhelm myself. I started building C3PO first as that took me about 3 hours to complete it. And the next as I built R2D2 as that was sort of the same time length with C3PO. No paint(optional) and glue needed. Maybe glue needed if some parts wont attach well or easily breaks off. The results after the model is complete built turned out so brilliant! For sure Star Wars fans would like to buy this model kit and enjoy building it!
The RS3 Loco was in great condition when i received it ,no broken parts and runs excellent.Ed Sutton
I had to replace several of these as the grandkids did a number on them..and could not find them anywhere! Trainz had them and shipped them FAST!!
Ive purchased a lot from Scott Griggs over the years. A lot of good bargains. Hes changed his format considerably and Im just getting familiar with the new method of selling.
Love my Silver Bullet train. The train is in excellent condition. I have not been able to run it as I’m in process of cleaning all my track. Will probably get it running in the next couple of weeks. Thanks again for being a reputable seller.
Hi I just wanted to say how great it is. Each truck moves separately and it does good on tight turns but go slow. The car was packed well, and had no damage.the finish was perfect, I would recommend it to anyone, if you saw it behind a diesel it is cool . I do love it !!!!!
Have t finished layout yet but items look great and seem to function fine
Friendly service and good website
You delivered as stated. I like them a lot. I am gathering my equipment how to shortly start to build a layout again. Hope to have it running soon. I would recommend your business to any one interested in American Flyer trains. Thanks.
Im always pleased when a hunt i happen to be on ends at Trainz. service is always excellent
I recently ordered some coaches through their eBay store. I was very pleased with the quick response and shipping time, and the packaging way exceeded my expectations. Overall, this is an amazing store and I will definitely buy from them again.
Reliable MRR seller, I have bought from them many times over the years.
Packaged well for shipping. Fast shipping considering COVID 19 & USPS.
Good customer service, great staff always willing to work with you... rather large inventories can be a challenge to deal with and them operating a store and online as well as their own auction and other services makes this a one stop location. My engine will need upgraded but it can be done so all in all good experience
I was really excited that Trainz.com had Super Streets K-line items for sale. The order was submitted without any problems. Their team kept me up to date on the progress of my order and shipment. They did a super job getting it to me before Christmas. I was able to add the cute little Trolley car to my Polar Express layout. Everyone really thought it really gave Hero Boys town a real kick.
Im slowly getting parts to restore my Pre War American Flyer O Gauge 3326 Locomotive. Parts for for the Pre War American Flyer Locomotives are hard to find.
Very good transaction. Good value on this set of cars.
Wow the kit truly holds all you need to make a great track and easy to follow instructions help.
Overall great experience! After replacing the old 1996-98 battery In the Protosound 1 module and gluing the broken cow-catch in the front, it’s been a great working part of my collection. This item was an “as is “ item and pictures showed the snapped off catch, which I knew I could fix Gorilla glue. I would highly recommend this eBay store because of the affordability and the excellence in service. This seller also has a rewards program that’s offered through their website.
Fast delivery of product that was exactly as described. Would happily work with this seller again.
First time Ive ordered from Trainz and pleased with my order and the service
The 2 switches were listed as used, but they were just like new, just what the add said. Ive ordered a few other things from Trainz.com and happy with all.
The tower I ordered was fantastic and historically everything I have ordered through Trainz has been a good value. The one exception was in this order I got a lot of 5 freight cars and three of them had damaged wheels, axles and couplers.
Best seller ever!. Great communication, a good thing, updating the shipping. The piece, price, packaging and service was the best. Happy to receive it because it meant something to me, personally. Thank you so much. Will shop again. Sooooo much to chose from! Regards, Toni
Excellent value and fast service. Reliable!
It was great. Saved me about 200.00 over retail and I am very happy with my purchase . I was as advertised and delivered as planned.
The Lionel crane arrived quickly and was wellpackaged. The listing described the crane as C-9, like new functional but right or of the box it did not work. I could hear the motors running but no side to side movement and the winch did not move although the magnet did function. I dissembled to inspect and found that the factory grease had acted like glue causing the worm gear to seize in both of the gearboxes. Once all of the old grease was scraped off and the worm gears were freed up, I relubed both gearboxes and the crane operates like advertised. My issue is that I shouldnt have had to go through all of that on an item that was described as it was.
Wonderful experience, bidding was simple and efficient. The item I won was well packaged and shipped promptly. When the need arises I will use this company again. Highly recommended!
Sorry, nothing good to report so far, your shipping department elected to ship with FedEx Smartpost shipped July 28, 2020 and it was just handed over to the Postal service with standard shipping estimated delivery September 9, 2020. We have had good luck shipping to Hawaii with USPS 3 day Priority Mail in flat rate boxes that can be had for free at the Post Office, try that next time.
Very nice N Scale Santa Fe The Valley Flyer Passenger Limited Edition.Super place to buy N Scale trains at great prices, quick shipping.Have purchased before, will again.Thanks,Ernie
So far everything Ive bought from Trainz has been as advertised to better. Fast reasonably prices shipping. Good communication. A very good vendor.
Very good people to do business if they have something Im looking for , Im getting it .
Everything Excellent, Thank you!!
Set up the track to see what it looked like. Going to get more parts to complete the city portion of my layout. Nothing on the layout yet. Should be quite realistic and fun!
Excellent company to deal with. Have purchased items from this company for 10 years. They have what I need when I need it.
I received the package earlier than expected. It was well packaged and no damage. I would definitely do business with the seller again.Very pleased with the purchase.
Asked via email twice for car number, I hate duplicates. No response. Took a risk in ordering car but number was not one that I had.
First sold me a decal set they didnt have, shipped it late, then when it arrived it was in a flimsy envelope and damaged need I say more?
This is a great online store. Vast choice of products for any model railroader at reasonable prices.
I have purchased many items from Trainz.com over time and have always been very satisfied with my experience. I look forward to buying from them again in the future.
Item was exactly as shown and stated online and would do business again with Trainz as I have many times over 10+ years!
Good seller with good products. always checking to see what is being offered

I ordered a structure kit and received it in just a couple of days via the U.S. Postal Service! The people at Trainz.com are super easy to work with and are very professional! It will be a pleasure to do more business with them & also save some $$ with their lower prices!
I am so very impressed with their customer service! They truly want a happy but also satisfied customer. That is getting to be a rarity and they do an outstanding job.
