Practical Products for the Model Railway Enthusiast

Practical Products for the Model Railway Enthusiast

Welcome to our collection of carefully chosen products designed to make your modelling easier, more enjoyable, and more precise.
We start with two books written by modellers, for modellers — one that makes sense of Digital Command Control (DCC) and one that helps you keep accurate, accessible records of your locomotives.

Over time, we’ll be adding other useful tools, accessories, and resources that we’ve tried, tested, and know will help you get the best from your layout — whether you’re building a new baseboard, fine-tuning performance, or automating with systems like iTrain.

We only recommend products we use ourselves and genuinely believe will benefit fellow modellers.
