🚂 BIG NEWS for narrow gauge fans! 🚂

We've just taken our first major steps into stocking OO9 here at Sunderland Models, and we've gone all in! Say hello to our brand new Rapido Trains UK narrow gauge range, and trust us, there's something for everyone.

Leading the charge are the gorgeous Kerr Stuart Sirdar locomotives, including the famous 'Diana' (now happily steaming away at the Amerton Railway!) and 'Leonora', plus six more eye-catching liveries to choose from. Available in both DCC Ready and DCC Fitted (not sound), so however you run your layout, we've got you covered.

And that's not all, we've also stocked up on Rapido's brilliant All-Purpose Wagon range! Dropside opens, cylindrical tanks, covered vans, gunpowder vans (yes, even one from a certain G. Fawkes...👀), livestock wagons, stake wagons, manriders and single-veranda brake vans, all in a huge variety of colourful liveries, real and wonderfully freelance alike.

Whether you're building your first OO9 layout or adding some narrow gauge charm to an existing one, this range is packed with character and detail. Pop into the shop or check them out online, first come, first served on some of these!
