Fantastic in every way

Fantastic in every way.

Pre sales support was fantastic and gave me the confidence to order.

The performance of the new motor is great especially in slow speed control.

Definitely recommend.

1st class products

I have dealt with Sven a number of times over the years and found him helpful. 2014 I first met him when I tried some of his prototype models out at the 009 convention at Kegworth and have given feedback ever since

Great Products and Great Service!

I have purchased your decoders on several occasions and they always arrive promptly and neatly packed. I have used decoders from a number of manufacturers and it is clear that your’s are first rate and great value. They have good settings straight out of the box and there is a comprehensive manual available for those who want to alter CVs. They are also great with iTrain which is a train automation programme. Others may not work so well.

Bought a new motor for an aging engine

Bought a new motor for an aging engine. The 3d printed motor bracket didn’t fit my engine exactly as my model was slightly different. Email Tramfabriek and they quickly helped me to modify and print my own bracket for the engine. Super happy with their service.

fast, good service, reasonable price !

Bought some motors and parts to update some H0 trams without power unit inkluding some tools.
I've got all my parts really fast and in a good condition.
Also included a complete instruction, how to use.
Also good information on the website about that topic.

Thanks a lot, Sven!

Brillant Shop with excellent stuff

Over the years I've bought many excellent items at Tramfabriek: remotoring kits, decoders, smart screen, etc.
Sven always delivers great service, is very quick when shipping to Germany and does so at really reasonable prices.
It is always great fun to communicate with tramfabriek ( and I still owe Sven stroopwafels and ginger beer).

First Class Service

I had a number of narrow gauge locomotives which ran on old N gauge chassis and were either noisy, or poor at low speeds. I read about Teamfabriek and the coreless motors which Sven had sourced as a replacement. He gave me a lot of advice as to how the replacement could be fitted and even removed the worm gear from the old motors.

The improvement is enormous and I will be replacing all my remaining motors of the same type, when time permits.

love these motors

Tramfabriek micromotors are some of the best on the market. Small, quite powerful for their size and smooth even at very slow revs. My only regret is that they didn't appear on the market years earlier - would have saved me lots of trouble.
