The Footplate Arcade

The Footplate Arcade is home to some of the oldest and most cherished models in our collection.

Here you'll find a fascinating array of vintage railway treasures—from Hornby Dublo, Tri-ang, and classic tinplate models to rarities by Bassett-Lowke, Trix, Märklin, and early Hornby O Gauge. These timeless pieces are proudly displayed in our charming little online museum, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the golden age of model railways.

We’re always on the lookout to expand our collection, too—so if you have any old model railway items you'd like to sell, we'd love to hear from you. Whether it's a single piece or a whole attic full, every model has a story, and we’re keen to offer collections new homes.

Step into the Footplate Arcade and take a journey through model railway history.
