Aster Gauge 1 Live Steam Locomotives

Discover Aster Hobby Gauge 1 live steam locomotives at Footplate, with a changing selection of new, pre-owned and highly collectible models.

Aster is one of the most respected names in Gauge 1 live steam, renowned for producing highly detailed model locomotives combining exceptional engineering with impressive scale appearance. Over the years, Aster has produced an extensive range of British, European, American and Japanese prototypes, many of which are now highly sought after by collectors and live steam enthusiasts around the world.

Our Aster Gauge 1 collection can include both new and pre-owned locomotives, from factory-built models to professionally assembled examples and occasionally unbuilt Aster kits. Older and discontinued releases can be particularly difficult to find, so our available stock changes as individual locomotives and collections arrive.

Pre-owned live steam locomotives are individually assessed by Footplate, with their condition, specification and known features clearly described.

Whether you're searching for a particular Aster locomotive, adding to an established Gauge 1 collection or looking for a rare model from an earlier production run, check back regularly to discover our latest arrivals.
