About Us

Hi, my name is Andrew and I own the Model Railway Workshop. I have been a model railway enthusiast (Model Railway Engineer) for over 40 years.

Some of my earliest memories are train spotting with my late father, who used to take me to London Kings Cross and he would chat to the train drivers. I was only 5 years old at the time, but hooked for life and soon discovered you can build your own train layouts and got my first (very basic) model railway up and running at the age of 8 on a board in my bedroom. I built my first large model railway in the attic when I was in my mid teens.

With over 40 years experience, I have a great knowledge of model railways and model railway electrics. I have a professional background in engineering and electronics and have been described as an artist with a soldering iron, ha ha. I will be developing our very own electrical solutions and parts for your layouts. We have a 3D Printer and a state of the art Lathe as well as many over useful design and creative tools that you would expect from a fully equipped workshop.

Its now later in life I have decided to start Model Railway Workshop which is a family run business located in Cheltenham. We offer a range of model railway services, including Loco servicing, DDC conversions, motor repairs and weathering etc.

Online Store
We will be selling UK Locomotives listed by Railway Era and UK Passenger and Fright Rolling Stock, all of which will be cleaned, serviced and fully tested and some will be upgraded to DCC and weathered etc. The Online Store will be populated over the next few months and we will only be selling the UK.

Thanks for reading
Andrew
