Kits for Cambrian Railways stock

 



A part-built 7mm kit of a Cambrian 2-plank Open from Dragon Models. You can see a review of this kit on Raymond Walley's site.

The following is a list of some past and present kits for Cambrian Railways stock. Note that the list does not include GWR stock introduced after the 1923 Grouping.

Many thanks to Roy Slaymaker, Colin Tarry, Chuck Soule and in particular Chris Yates for their input to the list. The list is not exhaustive, so if you know of any other kits, please do e-mail the webmaster.

One constraint is that several of the kit manufacturers who produced kits for Cambrian stock were one-man operations who have sadly stopped trading in recent years, so sourcing some of these kits may be difficult.
