can anyone tell from where to buy a starter train set in india ?anyone ?

Hi Akshai26,
It seems there is one Mr Omi of M/s Hobby Co of Mahim Mumbai who wants to clear off his stock (shutting down permanently?  ) on discount prices. 
Contact no is 09920481230. Web site is www.modeltrains-corner.com.

May be of some use to those few and scattered Model Railway enthusiasts of India, hence this posting.

Hope this is not frowned upon by the moderators / Anwar bhai.
Another website I found interesting   is  "www.trainaidsa.in"
Try your luck.

ps: Here in Australia, I found that the rail modellers are very common. But what use is it to us ??

thanks for the reply i have tried them but not much of use. iam surprised there are no shop in india that provide train sets.such a good passion and hobby and so badly ignored

Have you contacted this seller?

http://www.rcindia.org/kites-trains-free-flight-and-all-others/model-railroad-hornby-starter-sets-and-rolling-stocks-available/

ya just did and waiting for the reply

Did you get any response from Victory hobbies.
In India, model railroading is at infancy.

There are not much stores with adequate supplies.
I have tried to locate lot of them.
In Bombay, there is a hobby centre in Laminton Road, Grant road.
But his products are expensive and you may think of ordering online.
Now you should know that Rail modeling is an expensive hobby. Because
1- There are a few dedicated stores viz. Hornby from Hamleys (Bombay)
2- Victory hobbies but no response yet to my email.
3-Buying from Ebay is the best as of now. But high shipping discourages hobbyists.
Ebay US has tons of products on Bachmann from EZ tracks to Spectrum rail tilling machine.
4- If you want to have European model go for ebay germanay( www.ebay.de). They have products on Roco, Lima, Rivarossi, etc. Use language translator to  chat with the seller. Since they charge in Euros, this is also expensive. Shipping varies from 7 Euro to 42 Euro to India.
The above points are based on my experiences with Ebay US, Ebay Germany, Italy and Spain.

Gentlemen ,
if garden railways is your cup of tea, then you can visit my website www.pline.in
I am based in Calcutta, India, and perhaps the only manufacturer of model railways in the subcontinent (Hope I am not pulled out for boasting & cheap publicity by Anwar sahab, or of our other moderators!)

I have a starter set which i want to exchange or sell if any one interested kindly PM

Hi, i am interested in buying/exchanging model trains or items related to model trains kindly mail me at    .looking forward to a reply from your side.

Hello, I am new to this forum.
Would have liked to have been able to set up and use my fathers Marlkin HO and Falla collection but it has been in storage with me for the past 20 years. Time for it to find a new home as I will be leaving India and I don't want to take all my stuff back to New Zealand.
My father was a retailer of Marklin in NZ, serviced the trains and bought up old stuff when he was planning to retire.  So I have loads of new stuff and used stuff from the 1960's ~ 1980's including service manuals and spare parts.

That is a rather comprehensive list. Would you want to sell the whole lot at one go or would you be interested in selling it piece meal? I would be interested in acquiring a set comprising a locomotive and some rolling stock, tracks, points and a few Faller accessories - if I can afford them. If you are looking at internationally acceptable European / US prices for Marklin products, count me out.

I am specifically interested in a Steam loco like the 3084 /3046.

Regards.

While there would probably be greater value in selling things separately my intention is to sell as one complete lot.

I will be selling for 2 Lakh complete
