This page will briefly describe each of our models and give a few hints and tips on building them.  We will also include some images and links to the instructions for each model.  We are rewriting the instructions so thought it would be a good idea to help those who have recently downloaded a model.  It will also help those that are thinking of purchasing a model to see if they think it would be possible for them to make.

Our models are scale models, and not a quick assembly card kit.  They will take time to build to get a good result.  All models start from plans of a real building at a real place.  We have made plans of these buildings and then adapted them to enable a model to be made. We have tried to make each model non railway company generic, so that they can be used on most model railway layouts.  We may one day release railway company specific models.

We decided at an early stage that no cardboard edges would show on our models, unlike some of our competitors.  This has caused a few problems with the design of the models, but we hope that any problem areas have been overcome. This policy has made our models a bit harder to make, but we believe that the finished results speak for them selves.

Small station

This model is based on a station building that was on the LSWR line.

Medium station

This was again taken from plans of a southern railway station.  The station had a full time station master, and hence his living accommodation was at the station.  The station was built using local bricks to a pretty much standard SR design.

Station waiting shelter

This was again of a LSWR design and gave waiting passengers somewhere to wait for trains on platforms apart from the main platform.  They were all to a standard design.

Engine shed

This engine shed was originally on the GWR line, and we had to modify it in several ways.  Firstly the original shed was too long to fit onto a piece of A4 paper.   We designed it to fit the paper size, then came up with a way to lengthen the model, so that it didn't look like a modified model.

Water tower

This model came from a picture found on the internet.  It took a while to convert to model form, but we believe that it gives a good representation of a water tower that could have been found on many small and large railway lines.
