Joined: 14/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 15,870 Location: Gibraltar, Europe		Is there an online shop where I can buy Roco AC locos, preferably in the UK? My usual dealers don't seem to do Roco, and the only shop I can find in the UK for Roco is Mackays models, who have a very long list of model numbers on their website but no online shopping. If there is somewhere else in Europe with a "friendly" online shop I could try them. Can anyone help? Ray

I highly recommend http://www.eurorailhobbies.com/default.asp and http://www.reynaulds.com/ Both Walter at Euro Rail Hobbies and Rey and Roman at Reynaulds ship world-wide. Hope this helps.

Buying from Europe by MATSCHKE or others as noted is either than a European Dealer is at lot of burden on the buyer.

I have tried Lokshop, but their selection of Roco is pitiful! Luis, I don't recognise the others you mentioned. Can you post url's for their sites please? I was rather hoping for a UK dealer, as that is the easiest and quickest for Gibraltar. Thanks for all your replies, Ray

I think I might try them. Henrik, I did consider Spain, though the geographical proximity does not guarantee easier delivery. Politics may be involved. Enough said![:(!] Ray

MacKays Models are just a couple of miles from me but they do not sell A/C models same as all other UK dealers[:(] Licht do not hold good stocks and can be slow. Lokshop are not too bad but an Austrian dealer would be faster...Rainer Modelbahn give good service. David
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

Politics may be involved. Enough said![:(!] Yikes! =:-| I get your point. Didnt think about that, I admit it... Maybe you could do like Basar Valira in Andorra; They send the packets from Spain, thereby saving their clients lots of trouble -and money! ;-) Would it be possible for you to pick up a packet just north of The Rock? I say it, becuase there are certain shops in Barcelona that leaves nothing to be desired, both availability- and price-wise!

Joined: 06/03/2005(UTC) Posts: 616 Location: Athens,		Ray, You can try http://www.hobby-shop.at/ I have bought several locs from there. They are friendly, helpful and very responsive. Their prices are not what I would call a bargain but all their items are fairly priced. Maybe you want to take a look. Regards Symeon
