The railways are fascinating, in any year of their existence parts from earlier years survive.  Locos built in the 1880s run on heritage lines having been rebuilt many times during their life.  The L&NWR Coal Tank was built in 1888 with Webb buffers, enclosed safety valve and no coal rails then the L&NWR fitted coal rails, the LMS changed safety valves and buffers, and in preservation it has been retro fitted with Webb buffers and enclosed safety valve.  Parts were not always different, LMS round loco buffers are a lot like GWR Collet locomotive buffers.  While locos changed over the years buildings often didn't and today units speed across the national network with buildings from years ago as a backdrop.  For the enthusiast the detail of a building, like window style, can be enough to date and geographically place it.

To select the part or kit right for a modeling project can be difficult.  Our parts and kits are grouped by the company that first used them.  If that is a pregrouping company era 2 it is listed under the Big Four Company era 3 it became part of.  The Big Four became British Railways (era 4 & 5).  This grouping is largely geographical, the name of the company is often a guide as to where it was in Britain. (See below.)

Parts are listed twice, under the company that used them  on the company pages e.g. "LMS Pts" and under type e.g. all buffers together on the "All Parts" page.  Drop us an email if you would like help.
