The Leyland National bus was built in Workington, Cumbria, between 1972 and 1985, this project being a collaboration between British Leyland and the National Bus Company. It was a successful venture, with thousands built, and also exported to many countries around the world, including Australia, the Netherlands, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and the largest export shipment, 450 buses to Venezuela! Very few remain in service in the UK, but over 100 are preserved. Another interesting fact, and a railway one, is that the bus body design, and components, were adapted to be used in the British Rail Class 141, 142 and 155 diesel multiple units. Kit contains pre-coloured parts and transfers; requires glue and detail painting to complete.

Built in 1957, this small fleet of open wagons were design specifically for the movement of consignments to and from the continent by the channel train ferry. Allocated to the Southern Region, they featured an adjustable bar that supported a tarpaulin. On our model the bar is included, and can be removed as required, as was done on the real wagons when they were eventually used for internal traffic. Our model faithfully replicates the bauxite livery and all the various markings as per the prototype, including the corner flashes in black and white. All Peco wagons feature free running wheels in pin point axles. The ELC coupling, whilst compatible with the standard N gauge couplings, keeps a realistic distance between the vehicles and enables the PL-25 electro magnetic decoupler to be used for remote uncoupling.

This handy guide to narrow gauge modelling includes an overview of British narrow gauge history. It explains the basics of the 009 scale and includes 5 layout plans based on prototype locations, an overview of the ready to run items currently available and some helpful hints on kit building locomotive and rolling stock kits.

The Peco 'Shows You How' series of booklets give practical, clearly laid out information and instruction on a wide range of model railway topics.

This book features six layout plans with varied themes to get you started on your journey into narrow gauge modelling, ranging from simple yet satisfying projects utilising the contents of the ST-400 Peco Setrack OO-9 Starter Track Set, through to more elaborate designs that combine components from both the Peco Setrack and Streamline track systems. The plans in this book have been skilfully designed and illustrated by James Hilton, an experienced modeller and narrow gauge enthusiast. 16 fully illustrated pages including complete parts lists and modelling techniques.

Based on our GR-231 Lynton & Barnstaple wagon (SR Livery) No 28313, this is an unlettered version for those who wish to create their own narrow gauge system or emulate another. Although unbranded, it still features the legally required weight and tare markings and strapping detail, plus separately-fitted brake levers and vacuum brake pipes. As with all of our previous models in this scale, it is free running and complete with couplings, which plug into the integral NEM pocket.

For narrow gauge models built to either 00 (4mm) or H0 (3.5mm) scale and running on 9mm gauge track, this range emulates many narrow gauge lines found around Europe which are built to main line standards. It is compatible with the Peco 009 Setrack rigid track system. For more details on Electrofrog turnouts, see our Wiring the Layout publications Nos 4 and 21.
