Replica Railways 15150 EWS PCVs

Railwayania own the Replica brand and now produce rolling stock on a small scale in both ready to run and kit from from their office in Swindon. There was a time when Replica imported models produced from the former Mainline moulds. When Kadar took over Bachmann they denied Replica access to the moulds so large scale production was halted about 1990.

The Replica owner was a stickler for quality and examined every model received from China before repackaging it! All rejections were sent back and not paid for!

Is there a lesson here?

They are right next door to a slot car stockist called Slot City.

This particular item was produced in both kit form and ready to run in 2003.

They currently do some interesting rolling stock for Southern Railways modellers. Whilst attending toy fairs and having the sales outlet in Swindon, Replica do not have a website.

Railwayania do have a website however.

Why not contact Replica? They are very approachable and will probbaly give you all the info you are after.

Happy modelling

This year I understand that Railwayania are hoping to have a MLV an (ex-SR Motor Luggage Van) on the stand at Ally Pally. This I must have as they used to run down the Folkestone Harbour Branch.........

Hi, I could not find the original post regarding Replica Railways (Railwayania), whereby '34C' posted a direct link to their reasonably new (2010) web site, but found the above from 2006. I just checked out the Replica Railways site and the complete low profile motorized chassis is illustrated and now available for purchase with two wheel diameters (12 m.m. and 14 m.m. in scale 64 foot chassis, and 12 m.m. dia wheels fitted to a scale 57 foot chassis (to be available in the near future). The MLV hopefully cannot be far behind now as Replica were waiting for a suitable motorized chassis upon which to mount the already available detailed body.

Please see: http://www.replicarailways.co.uk/

The suburbans are of course listed on the site - some of the sets not available at this time, but spare parts to build a complete coach are still available - I purchased four in green and they are very good. Will wait for the Bachmann 2 EPB to be released and see if the Replica suburbans will look acceptable to make a 4 EPB. As suggested previously by others, perhaps Bachmann will produce ready-to-run suburban coaches for the 2 EPB, but it may not be on their list of priorities.
