Building on the success of the Darstaed Mk1 Mainline and Mk1 Suburban coaches, the Thompsons are the next rung on our O gauge coaching stock ladder.

Featuring the brass sides and die-cast bogies seen on our other coaches, the Thompsons raise the bar once again with enhanced details, including individually fitted door handles and an exquisite interior. 

A limited number of 11-coach Elizabethan sets are available for those of you wishing to recreate the East Coast Main Line’s most prestigious train of the 1950s; these coaches are furnished with the streamlined lower bodysides created for this service and The Flying Scotsman.

Our Thompsons won the British Railway Modelling Silver Award in 2022 and Hornby Magazine’s ‘Best O Gauge Carriage’ accolade the following year.
