Accucraft Trains

Accucraft UK is the country’s premier supplier of small scale live steam locomotives and the sole agent for Accucraft US and J&M Coaches in the UK.

Accucraft UK Ltd was formed in 2004 by Ian and Sandy Pearse. Ian has over 40 years experience in garden railways and a strong development relationship with Accucraft Trains. The company incorporated their former business Marches Models, best known for supplying British narrow gauge live steam locomotives for gauges ‘O’ and ’1′. Accucraft UK Ltd has significantly expanded the range of large scale model railway goods available to the UK and worldwide market, offering customers electrically powered models and ready to run plastic rolling stock in 1:32, 1:20.3 and 1:19 scales and will continue to build on this. Graham Langer joined the company in 2010, becoming Managing Director in 2018 as Ian stepped back from the day-to-day running of the firm.  Graham also has over 40 years experience building and running garden railways and live steam locomotives and is a director of the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust.

As well as manufacturing our own range of model products we are the sole UK agents for the complete range of products manufactured by Accucraft Trains of the USA.  We also distribute the models made for Accucraft Australia (Argyle Models) and Accucraft Germany (MBV Schug).  In 2015 the firm acquired the intellectual property, designs and tooling of the Gauge 1 Model Co. range and has further expanded the existing range of superb Gauge 1 rolling stock.

Accucraft models are designed to reproduce the prototype as accurately as possible and built to give a lifetime of pleasure in their operation, bringing the joy of affordable live steam to many for the first time. A lot of our early locomotives are still in steam today, proving that they were a worthwhile investment for those who choose Accucraft.
