NEWS: production of Whale kits has now begun.
Tooling has now begun on the SECR ballast wagon. Here's an early sample:
Planned for 2008: LMS 12ton Van (D1664), SECR 2 plank Dropside Ballast Wagon, SECR "Dancehall" Brake Van, BR Rail Wagon - STURGEON (suggestions as to how Hornby/Bachmann couplings might be used on this, are welcome) and possibly some others. There are prototype pictures of some of these here: Info page
About our kits:
These are plastic kits which include underframes etc. & bogies (where needed). You will need wheels/bearings, transfers, couplings & paint to complete our kits.
We recommend Alan Gibson or Romford (Jackson) wheels. Avoid "RTR" types such as Hornby or Bachmann as these may be larger than the kit is designed for — this could make fitting couplings difficult, particularly on shorter wagons; also the axle length may also be shorter than the recommended makes' standard axles.
Transfers are available in the Modelmasters', Cambridge and HMRS ranges. Transfers for PO wagons are available from POWsides. Suitable paint colours are in the Precision Paint range — kit instructions give reference numbers. The Railmatch range also includes similar colours but these are not currently indicated in our instructions.

in the Modelmasters' range as sheets 4866 & 4867 and available from their stockists
Download and print our 2007 Catalogue from pdf files
N.B. this is still the old catalogue. Need to remember how it was compressed (involves Mac Coloursync), as the 2008 files are 40MB
There are two files. The first will print the cover and first sides of the other pages. You may need to print page one to test your printer settings (Landscape). The second prints the other sides, starting with the inside of the cover etc. (i.e. in the same order as the first sides). Don't forget to reload the printed sheets in the same order as they will be used by your printer: inside of cover prints first. On most inkjet printers you will simply need to turn the printed sheets over as a pile end to end and place in the paper feed tray.
On laser printers where the second side is printed on the underneath of paper in the feed tray (the printer turns the paper over), you will need to reverse the order so that the first page is at the top followed by 2nd, 3rd and fourth sheets
