How to tell us about items you can’t find in our Product Database

While our product database has over a million model products, it does not have them all. Most model railway collections will have various items that can be difficult to identify or categorise. It can be surprising how much value can be held in these items, so we always encourage you to include them in your list.

If you are unable to find the specific record for your item in our, we have a selection of "unidentified" products to add to your trade-in list, which will assist us in valuing your items*, and aid us when your items arrive at our processing centre.
