Why Choose Darstead?

Since taking on exclusivity of the Darstaed finescale range, we have seen it grow and improve, expanding the range and announcing more future projects, alongside winning the Hornby Magazine award for 'O Gauge Coach of the Year' in 2018.

We often find that customers are amazed by our coaches when they are viewed and handled in person, exclaiming "Wow, they're even better than I thought!"

Essentially, what is impossible to convey through pictures on our website is the feel and robustness of these excellent models. Not only are these coaches built to last, they also features brass sides, which, instead of having a printed finish, receive professional painting, built up through 4-5 coats until the finish is perfect. In fact, if you catch the reflection of light on the side of one of our coaches, you will see just how impressive the paint finish is.

It is with the above, and much more, that we decided to confidently take on exclusivity of the brands finescale production, and had the quality control and expertise of build not been to these standards, we would not have done so.
