Welcome to the resource centre for 1/32nd scale railway modelling, your gateway to the rewarding world of true scale railway modelling in "Gauge One". Latest News (January 2008) Ian Pearse of Accucraft UK has now produced a confirmed list of projected British outline ready to run Gauge 1 trains at 1/32 scale. In plastic there will be classes 37, 08 and 20. Perhaps most exciting of all is a four car HST set. There are also a number of brass locos set to join "Flying Scotsman", so exciting times ahead. John Dale of "Old Originals" has completed his superb 1/32 kit for a Manning Wardle Class L 0-6-0 tank, it costs £265.00 and is available from John through Old Originals now. (Note new phone number 01509 829257, number previously given on this site now inoperative) Bachmann have just made available a Class 03 diesel in either BR blue or green liveries, with unpainted brass to follow, cost for current models is £635.00. For myself, I have been playing around with resin again and details of the results plus a bit more of my modelling can be seen on the my models page of the virtual library. I am also building a very small ScaleOne32 shunting layout which I have christened "Pomparles Siding". I have at last got down to building the track and the whole lunatic endeavour is pictured below.
If you know of any product or information which should be added to this site, then please let me know. | |||||

The ultimate diesel model.. Rob Mabbett's utterly believable model of class 22 number D6320, as running around Gloucester in the late sixties. Built from one of Fred Phipps' superb kits, see "Diesel hydraulics" for further photographs of stupendous modelling and painting. |
Currently stalled in the sidings.. Accurately scaled kit for the diminutive Ruston and Hornsby 48 horsepower shunter. Louvres mastered by Fred Phipps, detailed drawing work currently held up. Apologies, hope to get this project going again soon. A detailed constructional article on my model featured in the April 2007 issue of "Railway Modeller"

The intention of this site is to build a point of reference and centre of information for all individuals with an interest in 1/32nd scale standard gauge modelling. The fact that most prototypes discussed are British reflects the author's first interest and that outside of the UK Gauge One is generally practised at 1/32nd scale already. The author of this site is Simon Castens, who takes responsibility for all opinions expressed and any mistakes that might have escaped his attention. If you would like to comment on anything written here, then please do so! Last updated 4th September 2007. "ScaleOne32" standards, published 7th January 2006. | |||||
