Don't take our word for it...

We have always tried to make our models special and we think we have made a good start. We have not just tried to get the detail right, we have tried to innovate and make best use of technology to make our models better. This is a continuous process and we do our best to get it balanced and right.

We recently submitted two further GWR/BR (WR) locomotives to MODEL RAIL – 47XX 4700 in BR lined green and 68XX 'Grange' 6822 Manton Grange in BR unlined black. In issue Number 268 (December 2019) this was MODEL RAIL Richard Foster’s verdict:

“ It’s almost sacrilege to call these locomotives ‘Models’ ”

 “Masterpiece produces scaled down versions of the real thing. The only difference is that they’re powered by electricity and not steam.”

 “Consider this Henry Royce observation when drinking in Masterpiece’s ‘47XX’ and ‘Grange’: “Small things make perfection, but perfection is no small thing.”

If you get the opportunity it is well worthwhile buying a copy of MODEL RAIL Issue 268, not just for the review but also for the wide range of interesting articles on modelling rolling stock, scenery and other model railway infrastructure items.
