About Us

About Forge Model Works - Your 7mm Scale Railway Specialists

We are excited to bring you an ever-expanding range of highly detailed models to give your layout or diorama that extra air of authenticity. Based in the UK, we specialize in creating museum-quality reproductions that capture the essence of Britain's rich railway heritage.

Our Heritage & Expertise

Combining over 50 years of experience in product design and railway model making, we use the best new technology to bring you unique models based on real prototypes. Our passion for historical accuracy drives us to research authentic Victorian and Edwardian railway infrastructure, ensuring every detail reflects the character of Britain's steam age.

Specializing in 7mm Scale Excellence

While we work across multiple scales, our heart lies in 7mm scale (O gauge) narrow gauge railways. We understand the unique requirements of narrow gauge modeling and the importance of capturing the distinctive character of Wales' slate railways, industrial tramways, and rural branch lines.

Our Design Philosophy

We also aim to support your model making by offering you not just whole kits but also kit components and modular models so that you can add detail to your scratch-builds or kit customizations. Our modular approach means you can:

  • Build exactly what fits your layout space
  • Expand structures over time
  • Mix and match components for unique configurations
  • Add authentic period details to existing models

Advanced Manufacturing Techniques

We combine traditional model-making skills with cutting-edge SLA 3D printing technology, achieving detail resolution down to 0.025mm. This allows us to capture fine architectural features, mechanical details, and surface textures that bring our models to life.

Custom Design Services

Beyond our standard range, we offer bespoke design and manufacturing services. Whether you need a specific prototype building recreated, custom rolling stock details, or unique lineside infrastructure, our team can bring your vision to reality with the same attention to historical accuracy and quality.

Continuous Innovation

We release new products frequently, always expanding our range based on historical research and customer feedback. If you have any suggestions for more models that you would like to see in our range, or if you have a specific prototype you'd like us to consider, please get in touch.

Quality Commitment

Every model we produce reflects our commitment to:

  • Historical accuracy - Researched from original sources and museum collections
  • Fine detail - Capturing the character that makes each prototype unique
  • Quality materials - Using the best resins and manufacturing processes
  • Customer service - Supporting your modeling journey with expert advice
