Ride on Railways Ltd

Welcome

Ride on Railways is a family run business based in Romford, Essex producing value engineered ride on railway items for 5 and 7 1/4" gauge railways. While initially aimed at the garden railway market, the robust designs have found themselves equally at home on the larger private and club layouts.

OUR SERVICES

In 2008 we moved to a small business unit along with investment in workshop equipment which we couldn't previously accommodate. Where ever possible we use UK manufactures/suppliers but we have to be realistic as we all live in a global market.

When we started back in 2001 I would never have dreamed of building more than more than a handful of locos. It is a growing business and as such it is a learning curve for us.

While we want to keep costs down, commercial rent, insurance, VAT and rates are all costs which we didn't used to have when the company was small and working out of a home workshop.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

• We will look after you. It is in our interest to keep your locos and rolling stock running. We will fix or sort any problems which are our making.

• Whilst every effort has been made to keep this site up to date Ride on Railways Ltd may make changes or improvements to their range. As a result specifications and prices may vary from those shown. Prices shown do not include postage and packaging. Postage is via Standard Parcels Service with insurance unless requested or stated otherwise. Goods can be collected by prior arrangement.

• It is not our intention to mislead you over prices or specification. Please talk to us if you believe that we have not made details clear. The website has become very complex. We have now moved our prices to one page http://www.rideonrailways.co.uk/products/page25.html. The updating of pages is complex and errors may have occurred. Links to old pages may have old prices, please ignore these.

• All riding vehicles have guidance notes which we would recommend should be followed. Copies of these notes are published on the web so they can be read before purchasing products. Read Now.

• Ride on Railways Ltd can not be held responsible for the failure of an owner to look after RoR products in their ownership. As an owner you will have a duty of care to see that products are correctly inspected, maintained and used.

• We recommend that you should get public liability insurance, if you are not covered under any club policies. This is especially important if you intend to carry public or non family members. 5" gauge is big enough to cause major injury, therefore adequate care should be taken when running. We would recommend you read and follow advice given by The Health and Safety Executive's guidance notes, Safe operation of miniature railways.

The RoR garden railway shown in various locations across the site is a personal railway and is developed as a hobby and not a business. Advice given is just that -"advice". What works for us may not work for you. If in doubt ask or contact any 5" gauge railway supplier.

The best catalogue at present is the one you are reading now. It is cheap, full colour and even has video in it. I can print up a hard copy catalogue but its contents and style will not match those which a website can offer.

Have we left anything out?

Please tell us.
