We are normally open 1100 to 1730 (1600 on Saturdays), but since we are manned by volunteers problems sometimes arise, so give us a call if you are travelling any distance.

On model railway equipment, visitors get discounts, below list price, varying from 10% for a few of our lines and up to 20% for most of our products. For members discounts of up to 25% are on offer, so what further excuse do you need to join the railway?

Private Owner Wagons

Following earlier successes with Dapol, we are now commissioning our models from Bachmann. Although we have been with Dapol for a while, we thought, bearing in mind the time we spend doing the artwork, that it might be time to move ‘up market’ a bit. Accordingly, and despite a minimum order of 500, we have now moved to Bachmann for our PO wagons, with Leadbeter, Newport .and Blaenavon as our first models. We have the artwork ready for a huge collection (about 200 !) of these wagons in 4mm scale. Prototypes are drawn from all over South Wales, with a few from Dean Forest, Bristol and Oxfordshire. We intend to produce a new title about every six months - so order yours now. We will accept advance orders. Drop into the shop or keep an eye on this site if you want to start collecting the many titles we intend to produce. Delay, and with a 'shelf-life' of less than two months you will certainly miss them. If there is any title for which you are desperate, give us a call, we'll see what we can do.

With the Dapol series now sold out, we present this splendid model
- complete with suitably disgusting weathering! We‘re sorry the price has crept up another 20p, due to price increases from Bachmann

Note: There may be minor differences between these prototypes and the production series
