Thank you for stopping by! Latest News:May 28th, 2013 - Lots more pre-owned/consignment items now on the site. Take a look at them here. May 22nd, 2013 - Well, we are sure some of you have heard of the delays in product releases from most manufacturers. For those who haven't heard this, please understand that Britannia Models would love to be receiving product and getting your models out to you, but there is nothing we can do but keep calm and carry on! We do expect that over the summer/fall we will see more models being released but there is a definite move by most manufacturers to produce no more models than the quantity for which they have pre-orders. This is the reason you may not see some 2013/14 models in our listings. If we are expecting to receive only enough to cover the advanced customer orders, then we will remove such models from our listings. News from Bachmann is that we can expect the following models in June/July: 31-657 Class 47 47715 'HAYMARKET' BR Network SouthEast. 31-658 Class 47 47190 'PECTINIDAE' BR Petroleum Sector - Weathered 31-658DS Class 47 47190 'PECTINIDAE' BR Petroleum Sector - Weathered with sound. 32-006 BR Hall Class No. 6922 'Burton Hall' in BR Lined Green, late crest. 32-231A BR Jinty No. 47314, in BR Black, early emblem, weathered 32-233 Fowler Class 3F (Jinty) No. 23 in SDJR Blue 32-529B Class 55 D9011 BR Two Tone Green 32-828A Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-0 No. 46526 in BR Lined Green, Late Crest - (Weathered). 32-859 BR Standard Class 9F 92233 BR Black L/Crest Weathered 34-325C 50ft Parcels Van BR Maroon Weathered. 39-420A BR Mk1 POS Post Office Sorting Van Post Office Red.

The consignment listing is finally back, and with added pictures! Check it out. There are some neat items there and more to come! March 15th, 2013 - Hornby and Bachmann listings have all been updated to include items from the Hornby 2013 catalogue and the Bachmann 2013/14 catalogue. March 13th, 2013 - News received today from Hornby, that there will indeed be another run of the SR 2BIL. R3161A and R3161AX will also be released in June so if you wanted a four-car train with different running numbers in either SR or BR livery, that is now doable. We are therefore taking orders for R3161A and R3161AX.
