| Welcome to PARKSIDE DUNDASOur new Website contains all our products for all the different scales and gauges that we produce for, as well as useful items from other manufacturers. We hope you find this new Website useful and an improvement on our previous site. This is all part of our continual programme of development, based on our experience and commitment to quality and not least by listening to our customers. Our aim is to provide you with a fully illustrated website, additional illustrations will be added as time permits.
We have developed, we sincerely hope, ranges of products that are straight forward to construct, faithful to the prototype and are dependable in running. We have worked hard to capitalise on our own experience and the freely given comments of our customers and hence we strive to produce products constantly improving in quality.
| 00 Gauge 4mm ScaleOur kits have plastic parts made in top quality material, manufactured to our specification. Where ever possible components are moulded in the same colour as the prototype part. Romford wheels, with brass bearings are included as standard. However we will glady exchange these for Alan Gibson wheels in 00, EM or 18.83, subject of course to availability.
Our kits broadly cover the period from the early 1920’s until the present day. Most of the prototypes would be seen on BR in the classic years of the 1950’s and 60’s. We have aimed to produce a wide range of the rolling stock types that would commonly be seen on any main or branch line. Look at a photograph of a goods train in steam or early diesel days and you will see a great variety in the basic types of wagon on that train with say different types of coal wagons and vans from one or two of the old companies as well as BR examples. Since is the authentic railway scene we can help you to recreate. | O Gauge 7mm ScaleFor those not yet acquainted with our O Gauge kits, their specification is given below -
Body and chassis moulded in high impact polystyrene, Metal tyred wheels with brass bearing cups, Sprung three link couplings, Sprung buffers, Transfers for appropriate livery periods and a Stout box large enough for the complete model.
In short, these are complete kits only requiring paints, adhesives and the builder's time.
A wide time span is covered, from the 1880’s up to the present day. | N Gauge 2mm ScaleThis is a range of quality wagon kits and accessories for the growing number of ‘N’ gauge modellers who want to add rolling stock that is both accurate and interesting to their collections.
The bodies are made in the best quality high impact polystyrene. The chassis are in ABS to give free running and have brass buffer heads, Romford metal wheels and PECO ‘Elsie’ couplings.
The period covered is from the 1920’s to the present day. | 009 & 00n3 4mm Scale Narrow GaugeWe produce a wide range of narrow gauge rolling stock kits.
