With many years experience in railway modelling, particularly 4mm P4 (18.83mm) scale, we are able to offer useful items for the specialist modeller.

Currently we have many items available with more being planned. With the need for lots of coaching stock for our layout we are working on developments for building accurate LMS coaching stock and we will release these items when we have completed the development.

We have 2 types of wagon baseplate and we have various jigs and components to assist in the manufacture and use of Alex Jackson couplings. Recent additions are rail droppers for assisting in the wiring of track and some nickel silver strips of metal which can be used for all sorts of kit and scratchbuilding purposes.

Our wagon baseplates are etched plates that can be used as a solid foundation upon which to build a wagon chassis using sprung w-irons. They are available to suit wagon chassis up to 26 feet long. See the baseplate page for more information.

In our Alex Jackson coupling range we have an etch based on the Graham Turner bending jig which will help you make AJ Couplings easily and accurately as well as our 180 jig which makes the production of the first bend simple. We have also developed items to make the use of the hinged version of the coupling a more simple and effective method.

Anyone who is interested in the use of the Alex Jackson Coupling would be advised to purchase the book 'Alex Jackson - the man and the coupling' by Dave Booth, Sid Stubbs, Tony Williams, Graham Turner and friends. This book is published by the Scalefour Society and is available direct from their website. More details on the AJ Coupling can also be found on the MMRS Website under technical articles.

All of our items have been primarily produced to help the P4 Group of the Manchester Model Railway Society make models more effectively but are offered for sale to others to help them make models quicker and more accurately.

Recently we have added some 7mm Narrow Gauge items to our range.
