Suppliers
The management has no connections with the following except as a satisfied customer.
Binnie Engineering
Where would Whittlecreek and Eaton St Torpid Heritage Railway be without you Peter? Where would 16mm scale modelling have been without your father, Colin? Who, allegedly, could wax lyrical about the genius of William Stroudley.
I P Engineering rolling stock and loco kits and bits – and some of the best prices for motor blocks and geared motors around
Dean Goods speed controllers for battery locomotives; assorted 3D-printed parts; etc
Dorspring Models for model figures, trees, animals and other scenery accessories (especially affordable ABS extruded profiles)
Dream Steam mostly live steam but discount prices on Peco track
G-Bits a.k.a. Resin D'Etre Ltd motor blocks, kits and bits for G scale
Peter's Spares odd one out in this list as they don't deal in G gauge – but they do sell Hornby 00 motors and gears as 'spares' for those wanting motors for scratchbuilding dinky locos
Essel Engineering ready-to-run loco chassis or all the bits, motors and gears sold separately
Maritime Models not usually to the right scale but useful for lanterns and other model boat 'chandlery'
The Dolls House Emporium a few 1:24 scale items and a vast number of 1:12 scale parts and accessories
Motion Co
not a modelling outfit but helpful for motors, scratchbuilt gearing and Delrin chain drives – 'Meccano for grown ups' ;-)
Jaycotts
for habidashery items you never knew existed (and those you did too)

Taff Vale motors designed specifically for model locomotives
MSC Models motors with gearboxes
Peco G scale spares (Top Slots and Trains)
Jurassic Models (successor to Triassic Models)
Ten Mile (32 mm and 45 mm track plus all sorts of parts and kits)
Track Shack (Peco On16 and G track etc etc)
Slater (wheels and assorted parts)
Trenarren Models Online especially good for scenic items and 16mm scale unpainted human and animal figures cast in white metal
suppliers of help
G Scale Central online forum for G Scale railways
There are also various suppliers of 16mm scale live steam locos and parts.
