Victorian House Fronts, Lasercut Kit
Victorian House Backs, Lasercut Kit

The British Victorian red brick townhouse emerged during Queen Victoria's reign (1837–1901), reflecting the era's industrial and architectural advances. With the advent of mass brick production and rail transport, red bricks became affordable and widely available. Victorian architecture embraced Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne styles, characterised by ornate detailing, bay windows, gables, and decorative brickwork. Red brick houses symbolised urban prosperity, particularly in growing industrial cities. Their durability and aesthetic appeal made them iconic in suburbs and working-class areas alike. Today, these houses endure as a hallmark of Victorian design, blending function with the artistic aspirations of the era.

Special Edition OO-9 Letter Service Train Pack (Ffestiniog Railway)

The Ffestiniog Railway, located in North Wales, is the world’s oldest surviving independent railway company, founded in 1832. Originally built to transport slate from the quarries of Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port at Porthmadog, it was engineered with a unique narrow gauge of just 1 ft 11½ in (597 mm), ideal for winding through the rugged Snowdonia landscape. Innovative features included gravity-powered slate trains running downhill and horses hauling the wagons back uphill.

In the 1860s, steam locomotives were introduced, making the Ffestiniog the first narrow-gauge railway in the world to successfully use them. After declining slate demand led to closure in 1946, dedicated volunteers began restoring the line in the 1950s. Today, it runs as a popular heritage railway, linking Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog once again, and is celebrated for its pioneering engineering, scenic beauty, and remarkable preservation story.

These latest PECO train packs celebrate that legacy with attention to authenticity and a passion for detail.
