We’re delighted to hear your Maritime Class 66 made it all the way to Australia in under a week — that’s some serious mileage! It’s great to know it arrived safely and that you’re happy with the service.
We really appreciate you choosing Rainbow Railways from the other side of the world, and we hope the 66 is now earning its keep on the layout!

It was picked and posted quickly and was exactly what I ordered. Thank you. The postage was however was very average but that is out of your control. A long wait at Heathrow and another long wait at Brisbane Airport. For the money, both postal services don't perform very well. BTW, I'm still looking for some of this cork to finish a layout, let me know if you find anymore R2 curves.

Everything from finding the items on your website, ordering them and your contact with me informing me that the items were on the way was absolutely fantastic. A friend recommended you to me and I’ll gladly recommend yourselves to anyone at the club I belong to.
