The Products

U.K. outline railway modelling is the focus, most of our range is aimed at "OO" 4mm to the foot scale, we also have lots of things for 2mm N-gauge. We produce fine details to add to standard models by Hornby, Bachmann, Graham Farish, Heljan, Lima and Wrenn. Plus many items produced specially for "O" 7mm to the foot scale models, such as kits from Just Like The Real Thing. Nameplates and numbers, roof destination and headboards, lining and other livery details, for both modern and historic subjects. The details can be made permanent when painting a model, or can be used as removable additions without damaging prized collectibles. We specialise in things you won't find anywhere else and are happy to quote for custom order work including printing your own designs for model decal transfers or labels.

We offer two main formats for precise images that bring to life famous trains:
 
 
  PRECISION LABELS  
  - self-adhesive labels, a variety of materials including waterproof and metallic forms
 
  PRECISION DECALS  
  - water-slide decals, sometimes called transfers, with clear, white or even no carriers
 
Our productions start with real life photographs, manipulated to scale and traced over to create new images. We then employ the best resolution that modern colour printing allows to produce details that are exactly like the real thing, but smaller. For most items, all you need do is cut around the images with fine scissors or a sharp craft knife, then remove from the backing sheet and place on the appropriate rolling stock.

Guidance is given on the usage and placement of images, for example what type of coach carried a given name and the running order of Pullman Cars in a Pullman train. Most packs include a separate sheet of instructions, with tips such as loosening the backing sheet on the self-adhesive labels before cutting out. In case you need more, our packs usually contain spare copies or alternative images.

Shunting Challenge
In association with Neil Machin, we are pleased to bring you a little light entertainment. The task is to place wagons in particular sidings and finish with a correctly made up train. It's fascinating to move the train, change the points and use the uncouplers. The dynamic graphics are designed to work with Microsoft's Internet Explorer (4.0 or later) - a unique award winning site!
