How did it all begin?

Established 2012.

Hi, my name is Greg and I am the face behind the screen, packing your orders and checking, testing and listing all new stock.

Model Railway Emporium ironically formed in 2012 as my interest in model railways began to dwindle. A decision was made to sell my model railway collection that had sat unloved for a year or so.

Little did I know what the next 10+ years would have in store! 

I sold my personal collection individually but soon caught the bug of buying, selling and discovering models I had not had the privilege of owning before. Upon realising the second hand market was heavily driven by supply and demand, this curiosity regained a deep rooted interest in model railways once again.

In the coming days and weeks following, I bought a handful of items from toy fairs across West Yorkshire with a view to selling them on as a weekend hobby whilst studying at Sixth Form. Whilst studying at University and working part time jobs, this rinse/repeat process of buying & selling has organically developed Model Railway Emporium into a recognised "go to" for preowned stock, predominantly on eBay.

Now with over 50,000 items sold in this time span, I like to pride myself on such a mammoth achievement to have built a brand and reputation based on outstanding customer service. I try to strike a balance between quality stock and premium service, offering fast shipping solutions and a vast range of stock at all times. 

In 10+ years, I have bought thousands of items across the length and breadth of the UK and have lost count of the number of vans I have filled collecting stock. Hopefully, now is the time to bring something new with Model Railway Emporium's dedicated preowned website, encasing the brand and continuing to offer a phenomenal range of products at great prices!
