Incompetent or dishonest. I am not sure which.

I don't know how that got all of these good reviews as my experience is that they are either the most dishonest comany in the the railway hobby, or the most incompetent, or possibly both. I must admit at the time of writing this i am extremely annoyed as they owe me money and i am having a hard time getting it. No customer service, horrible attitude, lie about everything. Faulty engine returned. Having agreed it is faulty and promised a refund have not given a refund. This is now with my banks fraud team to sort out.

Great buying experience

Clear website availability. Smooth purchasing experience and good communication thereafter. I note comments previously talking about communication around non available stock etc but far from my experience. I received emails throughout the process after purchase, updating me on progress and the models arrived well packaged and exactly when expected. A really smooth experience for me and am just about to purchase from KMS Railtech again now and do so happily (best recommendation i can give). If you see something you'd like to purchase (they have good prices too) i would recommend them without hesitation.

Such a wonderful company

Such a wonderful, friendly company to deal with. You get the help and support you need with a lovely personal touch. I visited the store, ordered via the website, phone and at shows with a great experience in all cases.

They support the local small shows as well as the larger ones and travel large distances to do so.

Cannot recommend them highly enough.
