For newcomers to modelling who are interested in making a diorama but do not know exactly where to start, this is a lovely introductory set to allow you to model something yourself and create your own small-scale model.  It contains all the necessary materials for creating the diorama layout, and also an illustrated story book that children can enjoy reading at bedtime.

These little diorama kits also allow more experienced modellers to try building their own unique scene, and can be joined together to make a working and functional group of mini dioramas that can be used to make a working circuit. This can be great for modelling clubs, associations or schools, and can bring modellers together in group projects - to help focus on the dexterous skills and create something all by themselves.

As well as a a beautifully illustrated book, these kits include all the materials and scenery required, as well as a set of FREE stickers!

• Time required to complete: about 2 ~ 3 hours (excluding drying time)
• Suggested age: 8 yrs+ (Supervision recommended)

Based on the buildings at the Ffestiniog Railway Boston Lodge base in Porthmadog, North Wales, these two new kits perfectly complement our OO-9 scale rolling stock, and of course, the Small and Large Engine locomotives. Produced from fine plywood sheets the kits feature some very exquisite texture detailing replicating either the stone or corrugated iron  finish. Both kits include some interior detail such as roof bracing.

The corrugated iron building, LK220, which at Boston Lodge sits alongside the older stone building, is a simpler single-track structure but again can also be built single or double-ended and with or without the chimneys. Footprint 167 x 64mm.

The stone engine shed kit LK219 has two alternative roofs, depending on whether the modeller wishes to use the chimneys and roof vents, and this kit also includes a separate and authentic FR disc signal. The shed can also be built single or double-ended. Footprint 167 x 97mm.

The familiar Rugga V-Skip 'tipping' wagon design was introduced in the 1930s - a development of the Robert Hudson company, based in Leeds. They could be supplied to the customer's specific requirements, with a skip size ranging from 13.5 to 54 cubic feet (0.38 to 1.53 cubic metres), and in most track gauges. The design allows the skip to tip in either direction, perfect for small industrial railways that needed to move and unload materials quickly and efficiently. The company even boasted that at any one time several thousand could be supplied from stock! These are supplied in an attractive display box of three.

NEW Wooden Laser-Cut Kits

Following on from the release of our Victorian houses, we have moved forward a century with these rather more utilitarian house kits, based on a design that first appeared in the 1960s. We have all seen these houses - they are all over the UK, forming a familiar feature in virtually every town and city.

There are 3 kits available: Low-relief Fronts & Backs, and the Full Building Kit. Easy and satisfying to build, the laser-cut detail is extremely fine, with wonderful brick and tile textures on the surface. The models also feature guttering and downpipes, a separate porch at the front and blinds in the windows, which can be positioned as desired. Once built the models can be painted to reflect the modeller's individual choice. 

You can easily imagine a row of these 1960s house backs lining up alongside the railway, or a small housing estate located close to the railway station - a perfect scene on the layout that can be enhanced with various other PECO, Ratio, Wills and Harburn Hamlet accessories.

This attractive, single-story laser-cut wooden building, perfectly complements the current PECO Great Little Trains series of Ffestiniog Railways rolling stock, as well as the new arrival of the latest batch of Small & Large England locomotives, which will be keeping the Ffestiniog Railway at the forefront of many modellers' minds at the moment.

These laser-cut kits feature some very fine detailing, such as the combination of textured slate and shingle-type roof tiles, as well as the ribbed walls - replicating the authentic and rustic nature of the building. It may be a model of a specific location but this does not restrict its appeal. This building would also be ideal to represent a village hall, cricket pavilion, scout hut, or other country-style  building.

The kit includes a separate and distinct double-armed semaphore, (as per the location), adding appeal to an already attractive model.

The next new livery for the L&B Goods Brake Van is this plain grey unlettered models, aimed at the freelance modeller.

Removing all references to the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway but leaving behind the useful detail such as tare weight and builder plate will please those OO-9 modellers who want to create their own unique and individual railway in miniature.

Our NEW Ffestiniog Railway "Bug Box" coaches, wearing the plain red livery from the preservation era of the 1970s & 1980s. Plain they may be, but when you look closely, you will notice that actually there is plenty of very fine detail, including the FR emblem, door handles and running numbers.
