Sven is super-helpful

Sven is super-helpful. He has helped me with a couple of re-motoring projects where I was using his re-motor kits for an application a bit outside the norm. His customer service and attention to detail are well above the typical online supplier. Highly recommend!

Most Helpful

I have been using Tramfabriek now for a few years for replacement motors and lighting and have found Sven to be most helpful with advice. He has even bent over backwards and made a motor housing especially for me.
Highly recommended.

Great Narrow Gauge Model Railway Supplier

This is a gem of a company for narrow gauge railway modellers. Sven puts his heart into everything he produces, as well as the help and service he provides to his customers. He loves the hobby and cares for his customers. The various coreless motors (and related accessories) I have purchased have always been delivered safely and promptly.

Only positive experiences!

I had some questions. I was looking for a very small motor, he answered all my questions quickly and helpfully. I wish everyone would act in that way.

His products come as soon as possible, no problems

The new Sven motor for my old tram

I needed a new motor for an old tram and made contact with Sven. It was not easy to find a motor that would fit in the model. But after some time looking around, Sven found one that would fit. This cheap ??Chinese?? motor I received from Sven fitted very well in he model and now the tram runs again perfectly! I am the type that always buys monday morning or Fryday afternoon made products: also things that have a manco. But not in this case.
Thank you Sven for your good work. Please continue like this.
