| London Road Models has been designing and manufacturing 4mm etched kits since 1988, when John Redrup produced some etched L&NWR 50’ non corridor carriages for the P4 exhibition layout, London Road. Since then, LRM has grown to provide one of the largest ranges of kits available to the 4mm modeller. The emphasis is on the pre-grouping period up to 1923, although the prototypes for many of the models in the range lasted into the post-grouping era of the 1930's, with many examples surviving into BR ownership.
London Road Models is, like many other well known model railway specialist suppliers, a part time business. Some of the recently introduced kits have been designed by other modellers who have an interest in the particular prototypes, but the production, packing and despatch of customer orders for this wide range of kits is handled entirely by John Redrup.
Since 1992, a number of other makes of 4mm kits have been absorbed into the London Road Models range. These include:-
Our kits are designed specifically for 4mm. Etched components are in nickel silver for loco and tender chassis. Superstructures are in brass or n/s, as appropriate. Resin castings are used in several kits for large components that would be difficult to assemble from etched parts. Boiler fittings and smaller castings are usually in lost wax brass. White metal castings are also used where appropriate.
Locomotive kits include all the parts required to build the model, with
the exception of wheels, motor and gears, to give the option of
building to P4, EM or 00 gauge. Couplings and pickups are also
excluded, to enable the builder to select the system specific to his
requirements. Similarly, carriage, van and wagon kits do not include
wheels or couplings. Tender locomotive kits include the tender. Where a
choice of tenders is available, the most popular version is normally
provided, unless one of the alternatives is specified at time of order. Our two most recent additions are for models formerly available from Steve Barnfield, further increasing the selection of NER locos in the range.
NER BTP, LNER G6 0-4-4T

| ORDERING BY POST.
Please print your name and address and order details clearly to help us. We can accept payment by cheque, money order, or postal order. They should be crossed and made payable to LONDON ROAD MODELS. Alternatively payment can be by credit card, quoting your name, address, card number, start and expiry dates and the last three digits of the security code on the rear of the card. Please note that we cannot send Phosflux or Solder paste by post. Regrettably we do not have the facility to accept telephone or email orders and payment. Whilst this might seem strange in these days of instant communication and gratification, please remember that London Road Models’ proprietor has a full time occupation. Previous experience has shown that some telephone and email enquiries can be surprisingly trivial. Time spent dealing with these inevitably prevents kits getting packed and despatched, materials ordered, etc. POST & PACKING. UK post and packing is £1.50 for orders up to £30.00. For orders over £30.00 p&p is free of charge. If goods are damaged in the post, please do not return them but write immediately describing the extent of the damage. We will then be able to decide on the best course of action to resolve the problem. In order to comply with Post Office regulations goods damaged in transit must be notified to us within 21 days of posting. EXPORT ORDERS. London Road Models is not VAT registered; therefore we are unable to deduct VAT for overseas customers. We prefer payment by credit card so that we can charge postage at cost to save you money, otherwise please add 10% to cover post and packing. FAULTY GOODS. All our products are guaranteed against faulty workmanship or materials. Whilst every effort is made to ensure that goods leave us in perfect condition, occasionally a defective part slips through. If you are unhappy with any item please do not hesitate to return it with a note of explanation and we will be happy to either replace it or refund the cost. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION. As part of this policy of improvement, from time to time we will amend the specification and contents of our kits to update them. You may therefore notice slight differences between the published description, or between different batches of kits. PERSONAL CALLERS. We are unable to provide a service for customers to collect orders. |
