SR

The Southern Railway was formed in 1923, and comprised the South Eastern & Chatham Railway (SECR), the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LBSC), the London & South Western Railway (LSWR), plus the Isle of Wight Railways and a few minor companies. The main companies' works for wagon building were at Ashford (SECR), Lancing, near Worthing (LBSC) and Eastleigh (LSWR). Each had their entrenched way of doing things, leading to minor variations in batches of wagons of the same type built at more than one works. In later years, the LBSC works at Lancing tended to concentrate on carriage building, although in British Railways' time, "Sturgeon" ballast wagons were built there.

NOTE: pre-Grouping (LBSC,LSWR & SECR) wagon kits are on a separate page.

It is our policy that items will only be shown as in stock if we physically have the designated number of bagged kits or items to dispatch immediately. Continued high demand from our exhibition traders means that we are not holding as much 4mm stock as we would like. However out of stock items are available to pre-order. We are moulding new items every day and will prioritise production of pre-ordered items so that they will normally be available for dispatch within 3 days with the rest of your order. If your want to delay payment in these circumstances until you are sure that the items are ready then please use the Purchase Order option in the Checkout and we will send you an email link for payment when they are ready. We also accept orders for spare parts or part kits. Please use the contact form to make your enquiry about these or any other matters.
