    A BIT OF HISTORY:

    Cambrian Models have been trading since 1973.
    We began by making 3-link and Screw-type couplings in 4mm scale. Later these were also made in 7mm scale.
    Our first plastic kit was for a sleeper-built platelayer’s hut. The prototype was near Derry Ormond Station on the Aberaeron branch in mid-Wales. If you find one of these, it will have "dotted" numbers on the inside that were used in the instructions. The earliest ones were moulded in white plastic and have the door and window as part of the walls, rather than as a separate moulding. Our first wagon kits were RCH 5, 7 and 8 plank types. The underframe for these included a "#" shaped frame. There were also 3 and 4 plank wagons later and a "beer" van.
    The early body moulds had detail produced partly by DIY 2-stage etching using a Kodak process that was less than perfect!
    Another early kit was for an SECR 8 plank wagon produced from a Skinley drawing that was less than accurate! (Kit C66 is not a reissue of that kit). An unmade kit was offered on ebaY in May 2006. We also made "single link" couplings with tinplate hooks and turned brass loco brake standards.

    SEARCHED AND NOT FOUND?

    • We do NOT make or sell ready-to-run locomotives (other than limited numbers in 16mm narrow gauge) or coaches. We sometimes have ready to run versions of our kits (SR Brake vans currently available). We do not make or sell track, or model railway products in 4mm scale made by any other manufacturer, other than Alan Gibson Wheels. (Though our stockists do so - see "Stockists" page)
    • Also we do not make kits of prototypes that fly. We are not connected in any way with the "Cambrian Model Company" (aka "Cambrian Direct").
