Welcome to the Modelling Area
These pages set out to assist anyone wishing to model the LNWR.
They include references to sources of information and lists of items which are, or have been,
available commercially in the various modelling scales. Many of the products listed here are
no longer available new, but some appear regularly on the second-hand market, so have been
included as it can be much easier to search for something when you know it exists.
The quality and accuracy of products varies greatly and the Society itself offers no
subjective assessment. An enquiry via the Modelling Officer, or a question on our Forum
(for LNWRS members), will bring personal opinions and experiences.
We do not claim to know of every model that has ever been offered for sale, so if you spot
an error or an omission from the lists, please send an email to the
Modelling Group
.
If you are a manufacturer and considering adding an LNWR item to your range, we would be
delighted to work with you in confidence and provide information to help you to get it right.
We will also gladly publicise it to our members, once it has appeared.
When commercial model railway equipment began to be offered over 100 years ago, LNWR subjects
dominated the ranges of most manufacturers. This dominance waned somewhat after the Grouping,
but the level of interest has been increasing again over the last two or three decades, which
is a tribute to the old company and to the LNWR Society.
