I had a number of narrow gauge locomotives which ran on old N gauge chassis and were either noisy, or poor at low speeds. I read about Teamfabriek and the coreless motors which Sven had sourced as a... See more

Good quality, good service, pleasant contact

Sven is working hard to satisfy his customer. Delivery is good and sufficiently quick, do not expect a 24h delivery, but hey, it is a one man business, be sensible, this is not Amazon with a big workforce to support your immediate gratification needs. Given that, his communication responses are outstanding. Some of the negative responses here appear to be of one person and I do not recoginise them.

Reply from Tramfabriek

Thanks! Normally emails are answered within 24 hours. Sometimes even within minutes. But yeah, sometimes it might take a day or two when urgent cases need to be dealt with. Family live etc.

Great customer service

I have used Sven's company for many years, since he began trading as Tramfabriek. His service is always second to none, quick service, polite and straightforward. The product is also top notch, but the reason I keep coming back is because of Sven's customer service, answering queries and concerns in a timely manner and resolving problems before they have occurred! When I have made a mistake on a project, Sven has been quick to help by supplying parts quickly without judgment! Thanks Sven, best wishes for future success!

Fantastic work en communication

My experience with the tram factory sven is more than good. The GS18 is built by him for me and assembled according to my wishes. The communication is fantastic and the speed of response is actually the same day. Can't say anything else that I am very satisfied with the work and quality he delivered

Innovation and Generosity

I asked Sven if he could design a replacement motor unit for the old Ibertren 0-4-0 and supplied him with a sample. Not only did he do so (it is now in the range) but he supplied the first one free of charge.

These guys are awesome!

These guys are awesome!

Sven and the team always go the extra mile to help out when I'm doing another motor replacement projects, which in N Scale is always challenging.

I also use them exclusively for lightbars for my coaches and other projects.

Service has been impeccable all the time and I would always recommend them to others.

Excellent!

Sven was super helpful in finding the right motorisation for my project, swift responses and orders are properly taken care of.
Would recommend this site not only to any small scale narrow gage railroad fan, but also for normal scale there is plenty to be found of interest.
