Rails of Sheffield is asking customers to vote in the Hornby Magazine Awards 2026. The shop is shortlisted for Retailer of the Year and several exclusive models it stocks are nominated across categories.
Several Rails exclusives are nominated, including the Dapol Black Label GWR Inspection Saloon (Best OO Gauge Carriage) and Cavalex Models PXA/JXA wagons (Best OO Gauge Wagon).
Many nominated locomotives, coaches and wagons are in stock at Rails now — the site lists multiple ranges and specific models available to buy.
Rails highlights its physical shops in Sheffield, bespoke customisation services, customer service team and online store as reasons to back its Retailer of the Year bid.
Awards gather community votes across product and retailer categories. For buyers, the awards highlight current product ranges and limited-stock items that other collectors and retailers consider notable. Rails is using the awards window to showcase nominees it carries — a practical moment to see what's available and, if interested, to buy while stock lasts.
Rails is requesting votes for three things: the retailer nomination itself, and specific exclusives that are nominated in rolling stock categories. The store points to the following nominated exclusives as examples:
Rails also lists dozens of other nominated locomotives, coaches and wagons it has in stock, across scales and suppliers.
Rails marks some items as reduced, very limited, or selling fast — implying demand for nominated models during the voting period.
Rails summarizes reasons to vote for it as Retailer of the Year: its physical stores in Sheffield, a new bespoke customisation service, a customer service team, an easy-to-use website, and a programme of new and exclusive product announcements. The shop frames those services as ways it supports and grows the modelling hobby.
If you want to back Rails of Sheffield or vote for nominated models you bought or like, follow the Hornby Magazine Awards voting link on Rails' page. If you're shopping, check stock status on specific nominated models because Rails notes limited availability for several items.
Rails of Sheffield is part of the Hornby Magazine Awards 2026 conversation both as a retailer nominee and as a seller of multiple award-nominated models. The shop's message is straightforward: if you've been satisfied with its products or services, consider voting during the awards window and take the opportunity to review the nominated models currently in stock.
