Who We Are
Off the Rails began as a small passion project, founded by a group of friends who shared a love for model railways. Initially, it was just a few boxes of trains in a garage, but through dedication and community support, it blossomed into a beloved local shop. Our aim has always been to create a welcoming space for both hobbyists and families to explore the fascinating world of model railroads.
Over the years, we have proudly served a diverse clientele, from seasoned collectors to families looking to introduce their children to the joys of model railroading. Our customers appreciate our knowledgeable staff who are always ready to provide guidance and share their expertise. We’ve become a staple in the community, hosting events and workshops that engage model railway enthusiasts of all ages.
Our Journey So Far
Founded in the heart of Hove, Off the Rails started as an ambitious dream of passionate railway enthusiasts. Our humble beginnings quickly turned into a thriving business, capturing the imagination of local model railway lovers. As word spread, our reputation for quality products and service grew.
Our dedicated staff comprises model railway aficionados who bring their expertise and love for the hobby to every customer interaction. Each team member is committed to providing exceptional service, ensuring that every visitor leaves inspired and informed. Together, they create a friendly and knowledgeable atmosphere in our shop.
Currently, we proudly operate from one main branch in Hove, Sussex, where we showcase our extensive collection of n-gauge model railways and accessories. While our shop is our primary location, we also strive to reach customers through our comprehensive online store. Our focus remains on quality and customer satisfaction.
Off the Rails has been honoured to receive several awards for excellence in customer service and product range within the model railway community. These accolades reflect our commitment to quality and passion for the hobby, motivating us to continue building our legacy as a trusted name in the industry.
