HORNBY: Following the closure of the Canadian Hornby importer in 2023 we have contacted Hornby numerous times to secure continued supply of Hornby products to supply our Canadian customers. Unfortunately Hornby steadfastly refuse to communicate with us. Regretfully we have concluded that Hornby has no desire to support the Canadian market. As stocks of Hornby products are exhausted we are replacing these products with products from other manufacturers.

Repairs and Fitting DCC Chips

We will provide an estimate for the required labour to complete repair to help you decide if you want to proceed

Labor Rate is $50/Hour

We break labor down into 15 minute units  with a minimum repair fee of $12-50.  - we don't feel it's right to charge a full hour for 15 minutes of work so you only pay for the time required to complete the work.

Services We Offer

  • Problem Diagnosis
  • Maintenance
  • Soldering
  • Parts Installation

Services Specific To Model Railways

  • General repairs, lube and service
  • DCC and sound installation in most 00 scale equipment
  • Servicing of DC model railway equipment is available

Time is Valuable for You & For Us

In most cases, we will not be able to complete repairs while you wait.  You will generally be asked to leave repairs with us, allowing us to perform the work to the standard you expect and we believe you deserve.

Most repairs are finished  within 2 weeks, depending on parts availability and complexity of the work required. 

There Are Some Brands We Can't Work On

Generally any "off brand" items you purchased at a big box retailer or in a toy store are not repairable.  We will generally not accept repairs for brands that we cannot order parts for including GRAFAR and Hornby Dublo.
