Hi Derek, I am taking a moment to thank you and your partners for your hard work with my husband’s collection. From the time it was carefully packed and carried away in your truck until it was sold and the check was received, I was very grateful for the ease of it all. I had about sixty books and hundreds of items, from very tiny to very large. They were kindly stored in your warehouse, waiting for “their big day”, and all the while being photographed and researched for the most honest yet most profitable presentation. I had a little concern about every button or key being accounted for, every lantern making it intact, and the whistles being brought back safely from Kentucky. I shouldn’t have worried at all. Your integrity is evident and is passed along to both the consignor and the buyer. Thank you for the care you put into the business.

“We are thrilled with the results of our two recent sales at Rail and Road Auctions. They did a wonderful job of picturing, describing and promoting my parents’ steamship and railroad collections, and it showed in the results: both sales far exceeded my expectations. They are professional and responsive, and their enthusiasm for the business shines through. I highly recommend this team.”

Totally amazed with the auction. I never would have imagined that the items would have been appreciated by so many collectors and get such high prices.  Thanks so much. So glad that I sent them to you.  Thanks for all the work that you and your team did. Your truly, K.J.

I Can’t tell you how pleased I was with your online catalogue.  The detailed cataloguing, the multiple images, the expertise brought out, all of it.  I was really, really impressed.  Well done to you and your team.  Thank you very much indeed.  My late uncle would have been proud.  And of course I’m delighted with our results today!

Rail and Road did a great job.  Beyond my expectations as a seller of railroadiana.  I will definitely…DEFINITELY use them again.  Great service, grouped items well, researched them and displayed everything well on the website.  Heck, they knew more about my items than I did.  Thank you Rail & Road! – J.S. Rail & Road Consignor

“I had come by a rather large, but eclectic collection of railroadiana that needed to be sorted and moved into the hands of collectors who would preserve the vibrant history of the American Railroad better than watching the pieces decay in a box under the stairs.  I tried several of the larger auction houses and I never even got a reply.  Then I found Rail and Road Auctions and they got right back to me.  We worked together to understand the collection and when I shipped it to him, he took it from there.  I was extremely grateful for all the work they did from additional research, meticulous cataloging, shipping, and care of very fragile and complex pieces. I can’t thank Rail and Road Auctions enough for helping us.  I will certainly work with them in the future.”

I deal with auction houses around the world, and I can testify that you do absolutely everything you say you will do.  But, more than that, I myself am a fantastic researcher, and when I saw your in depth write-ups about  my consignments, I knew I was with a true market expert.  The great monetary results are of course a result of your expertise. Please, accept my gratitude for an educational treat !

Thank you so much for handling the auction of my deceased father’s model railroad collection through Stout Auctions, as well as the many steam engine art prints, books and memorabilia through Rail & Road Auctions. Your knowledge of that particular aspect of the hobby/collectors market and expertise in creating attractive lots brought my father’s estate much more than our family would have ever expected. My father would have been thrilled to know that his collection was worth that much in dollars, yet no dollar amount would ever match his love for the hobby, and his passion for restoring steam engines!

Much thanks to you, and please express our thanks to all involved! I can’t imagine the amount of man hours that were put in towards the endeavor.

I’m so grateful that we hooked up with you…you did a great service to my father’s estate, and to us! – C.W.
