Repairs
Our repairs work on a base repair charge, plus any parts needed and min. of £10.00 Return insured & trackable postage within the UK.
NB: Due to the difficulty of finding spares for non-Dapol locomotives, it is not likely that we can complete repairs to any non-Dapol locomotives unless the spares are readily available.
Please note, if the price of parts rises above £20 for N or OO Gauge or £40 for O gauge, you will be notified before any work is carried out.
If for any reason the locomotive cannot be repaired there will be an evaluation charge plus the return postage.

We are proud to be Dapol’s official service agent and take great care when repairing any locomotive sent to us under Dapol’s warranty.
Locomotives repaired under Dapol’s warranty are entirely free unless the warranty is voided in which case our regular repair charges will apply. We reserve the right to charge for any additional postal charges incurred. Examples of voided warranties are: accidental cosmetic damage, attempted repairs, gross over oiling etc. Modifications to the model which have contributed or caused the reported fault will also void the warranty.
In the event a locomotive is not repairable and is a ‘write off’, you will receive a voucher for the purchase price of the model to take to your original retailer.
We also carry a range of Dapol spares; click here for our range, or alternatively visit Peter’s Spares.
Please note, if you cannot see the spare part you require, please contact us.
We are constantly working with the Dapol factories to obtain spares, as and when production runs are made.
However, please be aware, for older models, we may not be able to acquire spares.
