With 18 years as model railway buyers under our belt, we have the expertise to understand the true market value of your trains.

How it All Started

Littleworth is named after the historical Littleworth Station that opened on 17th October 1848. The station was located in the village of Deeping St. Nicholas, and was a vital station in the transportation of agricultural products, particularly potatoes, into London.

Littleworth Railway Station was part of a wider railway network operating as a stop on the Great Northern Railway’s Lincolnshire Loop Line, which was briefly a main route for traffic heading north.

The station is now no longer in operation and closed to passengers in 1961, fully ceasing goods transport in 1964. Now the station lives on as a crucial element of British transport history.

The station is a key inspiration for all we do here at Littleworth Models, playing a big part in getting us into model railways in the first place. Trying to replicate its glory with models!

Frequently Asked Questions:

My model trains are not in perfect condition. Can you still help?

Yes, we can! You can send us a picture of your set when you get your valuation and we will give you a premium market offer.

What kind of model trains do you buy?

We are interested in every model train brand. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!

I inherited a model train collection. Can you help?

Of course! We regularly help people who have inherited their model trains receive premium market value for their sets. As fellow enthusiasts, we offer a professional, respectful and hassle-free service to help you receive a fair valuation.

Is there a collection too big or too small for you to buy?

We are happy to purchase collections of all sizes. Whether you have a single rare locomotive or a basement full of trains, we can provide a valuation and an offer. For larger collections, we can travel to you for collection.

How do you determine the value of a collection?

Valuations depend on factors like condition, rarity, brand and lots more! We use our 18 years of model train market knowledge to offer competitive prices.

Unfortunately, we don’t buy damaged sets, although we are still interested in model trains with minor imperfections.
