With multiple liveries now available, modellers have an excellent opportunity to build accurate and visually striking period formations.

 

Pre-Grouping perfection

The ‘Evolution’ range has been designed to capture the elegance and variety of early railway coaching stock, making them ideal for layouts set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

These coaches pair perfectly with a growing range of pre-grouping locomotives, allowing you to recreate authentic passenger services from a wide range of historic railway companies.

 

Formation options

Customers are increasingly opting for triple packs to quickly assemble complete trains, while supplementing with individual coaches to extend formations where space allows.

Whether you’re building a short branch line consist or a longer mainline train, the ‘Evolution’ range offers flexibility and consistency across liveries.

 

Pricing

  • Single coaches: £59.45
  • Triple packs: £169.95

  • London Transport
  • Highland Railway
  • Metropolitan Railway
  • L&Y, GER, NER and LMS liveries

This expanding range ensures long-term potential for collectors and layout builders alike.
