Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do special or one-off liveries?

As a general rule, no. If, however, you want something that can be added to the range - for example, a particular RTC Test Coach, please ask.

Do you do Trade Orders

Yes. Click here for details and terms.

How much is postage?

Currently, all orders are post-free within the UK. Overseas customers, please enquire.

Why don't you do pre-nationalisation stock in N?

The N Gauge range is primarily based around the Graham Farish BR Coach Range - Mark 1,2,3,4. These are produced with one-piece clear bodyshells that, once cleaned, are ideal for applying vinyls. Many older coaches, such as Gresleys have panelling that is just not suitable for the vinyling process. There are always exceptions - if you feel there is something that could be adapted from, say, a GF Mk1 - let me know!

How do I strip down a Graham Farish Coach?

Instructions are provided with every kit and there is an on-line guide here.

I want sides for xxxx on OO Scale - why don't you do them?

In order to produce the sides, I need access to the donor model. As I am first and foremost an N Gauge modeller, I may not have the OO donor vehicle to hand. If is is something that will really make a good addition to the range, let me know. If you are willing to lend me the base model for a couple of weeks, I can scan it for measurements and produce the vinyls.

Can you produce these ready-to-run for me?

I am producing a limited number of RTR items which will be sold via the ERG eBay Shop. There are respraying companies who can produce models to order.

What's happened to the 325 / 313, etc in N?

The 325 is no longer being produced, as the moulds are shot. Also the original castings were very thick, making motorising very difficult. I am working with N-Train to produce new CAD-designed shells for this unit, along with other Mk3 based EMUs. As these projects are being funded by ourselves and finding the time to work on these is limited, I cannot give any timescales.

Where are the T Gauge Mk1 Sides?

These are being sold exclusively via TGAUGE.CO.UK

Why doesn't your website have one-click ordering?

The Electra range is now about 800 items across three scales. Re-doing the website to incorporate on-line shopping would be very expensive and take a long time. I'd rather be modelling and producing great conversion kits! To order, just drop me an e-mail.

What's Coming Next?

I generally don't put anything on the website until it's ready to hit the market. There is an Electra Railway Graphics Facebook page that has details of future projects and what's on the workbench. You don't need to be a member of Facebook to view this content.

I've messed up a vinyl side - help!!

Let me know and I will replace it free of charge. I would appreciate a stamped addressed envelope to cover the postage.

There's something wrong with one of your vinyls.

Again, let me know. Occasionally, mistakes will occur (I'm only human). I will always try to rectify these and send a replacement set out to you.
