The Snailbeach District Railways system was located in Shropshire and was built to carry lead ore over a narrow gauge route with a gauge of 2ft 4 inches. The mines were located at Stiperstones and they transferred their ore to a connection with the Great Western Railway at Pontesbury.  A fleet of various hopper wagons was used to transport the ore and it is one of those wagons that is the subject of our new model. Opened in 1877 the railway was finally closed in 1959, latterly using tractors to move the hoppers after the end of steam.

Turnout (Irregular Sleepers), Small Radius, Right Hand

Turnout (Irregular Sleepers), Small Radius, Left Hand

For large scale narrow gauge models running on 45mm gauge track, it is designed for electrically powered models but is also entirely suitable for running radio controlled live steam trains. The robust construction makes it equally at home for use both indoors and outside. These Setrack units are compatible with the Streamline G45 track system.

A popular size especially in the garden, SM-32 models are built to a scale of 16mm/foot and run on a gauge of 32mm, the equivalent of a two foot gauge railway. SM-32 has become the first choice for many narrow gauge enthusiasts who want to operate live steam locomotives by radio control, the large size of the locomotives means plenty of room for the receiver and control servos. The ST-605 provides an inner (First radius) circuit to the ST-607 curve. The SM-32 Setrack system is also compatible with the SM-32 Streamline track system.

For narrow gauge models built to either 00 (4mm) or H0 (3.5mm) scale and running on 9mm gauge track. This rigid track system is particularly useful on small layouts with tight curves, and is fully compatible with the 009 Streamline track system.

SM-32 has become the first choice for many narrow gauge enthusiasts who want to operate live steam locomotives by radio control, the large size of the locomotives means plenty of room for the receiver and control servos. The ST-607 is designed to match the small radius turnouts SL-E691 and 692, making it easy to construct parallel sidings and passing loops, and to provide an outer (Second Radius) circuit to the ST-605. The SM-32 Setrack system is also compatible with the SM-32 Streamline track system.

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.

For narrow gauge models built to either 00 (4mm) or H0 (3.5mm) scale and running on 9mm gauge track, this range depicts the slightly worn out old track of a picturesque old railway. 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.

This 12mm gauge track system is accurately modelled in H0 on the metre gauge track found in Europe, most notably in Switzerland. It is also useful for modelling the 3ft 6ins track found in southern Africa, Japan, Australia, Norway and parts of South America; in 4mm scale the gauge is correct for the many 3ft gauge lines formerly found in Ireland and the Isle of Man. This versatile track could also be used for modelling in TT (3mm/ft scale)
