17th February 2008 - Limited Edition Loco - Royal Warwickshire Regiment LMS Livery

Castle Trains in Warwick announces the LMS Parallel Boiler Scot 'Royal Warwickshire Regiment' in OO gauge.

Following the success of our limited edition wagons, we have decided to go for something a little bigger and commission from Bachmann our first locomotive.

The Royal Warwickshire Regiment comes in LMS crimson livery as it ran up to the 1940's when it was painted black during the war. The model comes with superb detail, which is clearly visible. The nameplate and badge can now be seen in the regimental museum at St John's in Warwick. We are pleased to be working with the regimental museum to reproduce this loco, which was named at Snow Hill in Birmingham in honour of the regiment.

The regiment, with Field Marshall Montgomery amongst its famous officers, developed a proud history and strong local connections for almost 300 years before being merged with other fusilier regiments in the late 1960's.

The loco, which costs £84.99 + £4 postage, is available to pre-order through our website (click the banner above) or can be ordered in person at the shop or by phone (tel. 01926 497905). Having had almost a full page in the last Bachmann Collectors Club magazine, the model is selling fast.

The last few of our limited edition wagons are still available on the website or in the shop, with supplies being down to the last twenty of a couple of them, so please do not delay.


All wagons so far cost £7.99 and the following are still available:

  • Dapol OO Gauge - John Walker Coal Merchant, Warwick
  • Dapol OO Gauge - Warwickshire Coal Co., Coventry
  • Dapol OO Gauge - Manton, Wigan Coal & Iron Co., Worksop
  • Dapol N Gauge - John Walker Coal Merchant, Warwick
  • Dapol N Gauge - Warwickshire Coal Co., Coventry

22nd August 2007 - Limited Edition Wagons in N and OO Gauges

Castle Trains in Warwick is pleased to announce that we have received the first of our range of Limited Edition Wagons. These have been produced exclusively for Castle Trains by Dapol and our first wagon features local Warwick coal merchant John Walker, whose small fleet of wagons were a familiar site across Warwickshire and the West Midlands.

These wagons are available in OO Gauge and N Gauge, with only 150 in each scale. Cost is £7.99 each and postage of £2 within the UK for any quantity ordered. Each wagon is supplied with a small certificate.

Further limited edition wagons will follow later in the year, and all can be ordered direct from the shop or via the website www.castletrains.com while stocks last. To ensure you are kept up to date with future limited editions, simply register on the website.

We will also have them available on our stand at the Birmingham Model Railway Exhibition at Cocks Moors Leisure Centre, Kings Heath on 15/16 September.
