Special Edition OO-9 Letter Service Train Pack (Ffestiniog Railway)

The Ffestiniog Railway, located in North Wales, is the world’s oldest surviving independent railway company, founded in 1832. Originally built to transport slate from the quarries of Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port at Porthmadog, it was engineered with a unique narrow gauge of just 1 ft 11½ in (597 mm), ideal for winding through the rugged Snowdonia landscape. Innovative features included gravity-powered slate trains running downhill and horses hauling the wagons back uphill.

In the 1860s, steam locomotives were introduced, making the Ffestiniog the first narrow-gauge railway in the world to successfully use them. After declining slate demand led to closure in 1946, dedicated volunteers began restoring the line in the 1950s. Today, it runs as a popular heritage railway, linking Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog once again, and is celebrated for its pioneering engineering, scenic beauty, and remarkable preservation story.

These latest PECO train packs celebrate that legacy with attention to authenticity and a passion for detail.

1960s House Complete - L/Cut Kit

During the 1960s, British semi-detached houses reflected a period of post-war recovery and growing suburban prosperity. As Britain rebuilt from wartime damage and expanded its suburbs, demand for affordable family homes surged. Semi-detached houses became the ideal solution — cost-effective, spacious, and suited to modern lifestyles. Built mainly from brick or concrete with simple geometric designs, they often featured large windows, central heating, and private gardens. Unlike the ornate Victorian or interwar styles, 1960s semis embraced functionalism and minimal ornamentation, echoing modernist influences. Many were constructed as part of large housing estates on city outskirts, supported by improved road networks and rising car ownership. These homes symbolised optimism, mobility, and the shift toward suburban living, forming a lasting part of Britain’s mid-20th-century architectural identity.

O Gauge BR-LNER Steel Hopper Wagon Kit

The British Railways LNER 13-ton steel hopper wagon was based on an LNER design but produced in the early British Railways era between 1949 and 1953. It marked a step forward from earlier wooden-bodied wagons by using an all-steel, welded construction, which offered improved durability and reduced maintenance needs. The design reflected the LNER’s long-standing experience with mineral wagons, but was adapted for post-war production methods in BR workshops such as those at Shildon, Faverdale, and York.

Over 2,600 of these wagons were built, and they became a common sight in the North Eastern Region. This was partly because many goods yards in the area had coal-drop staithes, making the bottom-discharge hopper design especially efficient for unloading bulk materials. While they were primarily intended for transporting coal, the hoppers proved versatile and were later used to carry stone, sand, and other aggregates.

The 13-ton steel hopper was a reliable and workmanlike vehicle that served across the UK for several decades. Its robust construction meant it could withstand heavy use, and it became a mainstay of freight traffic in the post-war period. Although newer wagon designs eventually replaced them, some examples remained in service into the early 1980s, making them one of the longer-lived mineral wagon types of the mid-20th century.

NEW China Clay Hood Wagon, OOV B743010

Railway companies all had a stock of their own vehicles for carrying goods and merchandise around their network, and also onto other companies' routes as and when required. These were integrated into British Railways at Nationalisation; some of them to be once more re liveried under sectorisation as the network was prepared to be returned to private ownership. 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.

FR Long 'Bowsider' Coach - Colonel Stephens No.20

The Ffestiniog Railway operated two pairs of bogie coaches numbered 17-20 and built by Brown Marshalls & Co and Gloucester Wagon Co. They were known as ‘Bowsiders’ because of the tumblehome shape of their sides. Numbers 17 and 18, built in 1876 are shorter with one 1st class compartment. Numbers 19 and 20, built in 1879 are longer with two 1st class compartments. All four are still in service on the Ffestiniog Railway today.


The Colonel Stephens Livery

In the 1920s the elaborate liveries of the Victorian era were replaced with a simple scheme of green with red end panels. It became known as the ‘Colonel Stephens’ livery, after the General Manager of the Ffestiniog Railway from 1925 until his passing in 1931. The colour scheme was used until the end of passenger operations in 1939, sometimes alongside other colours such as yellow, in the mid 1930s.

Green with red ends was applied to carriage No.20 once again from 2005 until 2024, as depicted by GR-623B.

Red & Cream Livery

The red and cream livery was first applied to a rake of carriages in 1987 for the ‘Mountain Prince’ train service. Carriage 20 was the first Bowsider to appear in the livery.

Carriages 17 and 18 had cream applied to the full upper half of the carriage. 17 had the mouldings reinstated in 1990 as depicted by GR-602A. 18 continued to have cream across the upper half throughout its time in the scheme, as represented by GR-602B. Note the ‘Brown Marshalls & Co. Ltd’ builders plate printed on the ends of the carriage.

All four Bowsiders were repainted into historic liveries in the 2000s, but the red and cream colour scheme is still seen today on the more modern carriages

Numbers 19 and 20, built in 1879 are longer with two 1st class compartments. All four are still in service on the Ffestiniog Railway today.


Red & Cream Livery

The red and cream livery was first applied to a rake of carriages in 1987 for the ‘Mountain Prince’ train service. Carriage 20 was the first Bowsider to appear in the livery.

Carriages 17 and 18 had cream applied to the full upper half of the carriage. 17 had the mouldings reinstated in 1990 as depicted by GR-602A. 18 continued to have cream across the upper half throughout its time in the scheme, as represented by GR-602B. Note the ‘Brown Marshalls & Co. Ltd’ builders plate printed on the ends of the carriage.

All four Bowsiders were repainted into historic liveries in the 2000s, but the red and cream colour scheme is still seen today on the more modern carriages

Goods Yard Weighbridge

One of the fundamental aspects of safety on the railway was that wagons should never be overloaded. To do so would risk trains not having sufficient braking capacity to slow and stop safely. To manage loading at many industrial locations, each wagon would pass over a Weighbridge - to check their weight. Each wagon would display its tare weight, which could be deducted from the total weight, to ascertain the net weight of the load - simple mathematics! The new Ratio kit is a great representation of a typical Weighbridge, not dissimilar to the one, once located at Shildon Wagon Works in the North East. Combining a mixture of materials, the plastic parts make up the hut and laser-cut wood parts form the actual weighing scales, which fit in and around a length of ST-201 PECO Setrack track, included in the kit. 

Another useful addition to the extensive range of Ratio OO/HO scale railway structure kits.
