GWR Modelling: 3mm loco kits, coach kits and wagon kits

Loco kits

Some of these kits may no longer be available. This loco list been compiled mainly by Bob Brown.

The Brynkits locomotives have now passed to the 3mm Society.

A note on RTR: GWR TT locos were the Triang Castle and Large Prairie, these being long since unavailable, the Triang TT range ceasing in 1968. The historical range is shown here.

Coach and non-passenger coaching stock kits

Apart fom those listed here, Mousa Models (Bill Bedford) may have some GWR made-to-order coaches to 3mm scale.

Much of the following draws on a 3mm Society list dated 2000, compiled by Richard Pope et al. Special thanks to Allen Doherty of Worsley Works for providing the list.

Some of these kits may no longer be available. It seems highly unlikely the Blacksmith range will become available again under that range's new owner.
