- The German Railway Society. Gaßner plates and decals, Kreye decals, a fab magazine and much more...
Sales Officer, Stephen Potter, grssalesatbtinternet.com
- Winco. European ready-to-run specialist - always worth a call on 01962 869301.
The Manufacturers (HO scale)
- Gaßner. A full listing of their plates and decals for German railways in EpII and III.
- Alan Gibson. Not actually maintained by Alan, but gives good details on his range. Unfortunately no online ordering. :-(
- High Level Kits. Probably the best gearboxes for use in 16.5mm gauge chassis. Accept no substitute!
- Model Loco. Unfortunately they don't do their range of German loco kits any more. But their gearboxes are still very good.
- VS Modellbau. Custom etched plate sets as used by us; and a great sales list.
- Weinert Modellbau. You've seen how I use their kits and parts - now visit their website!
The Manufacturers (0 scale)
- Modern Motive Power. Probably the most detailed modern traction kits in 0-gauge. The results are superb; not for beginners though!
- David Andrews produces excellent, buildable, accurate and nicely detailed models of steam locos in 0-gauge.
- Laurie Griffin. A whole host of details and castings for 0-gauge; Laurie is now also the producer of the Shedmaster kit range.
- Ron Chaplin Gearboxes. A small range of superb gearboxes. Very high quality and surpisingly affordable.
- ABC Gears make a range of gearboxes in a variety of gear ratios. They probably do one that will be ideal for the next model you're building. And it won't be expensive either...
The DCC links
- Lenz Digital. The new international 'site from the Father of DCC.
- Zimo. High-end DCC. 'Nuff said.
- SPROG DCC. The manufacturer and supplier of the SPROG II computer-based programmer for DCC decoders. And they also sell the frankly rather fab Zimo range of decoders in the UK...
- The JMRI DCC software website, including DecoderPro which I use with my SPROG2.
- Mackay Models, the UK's importer of Lenz DCC equipment. If you want to know what real service is look no further.
- South West Digital, the UK importer for ESU, including LokPilot and LokSound.
- DCC Supplies, formidable stocks of most of the DCC ranges - including all our favourites.
- Digitrains, very knowledgeable people and stockists of a broad range of DCC gubbins.
