One of the many charms of the narrow gauge is that of the variety of rolling stock. It is still possible to ride in tiny Victorian coaches and larger more modern varieties. In fact many narrow gauge trains, both in olden and preservation days had stock of all sizes. The range stocked by Brandbright reflects this variety - from tipper trucks to large coaches - and even some standard gauge to 'tranship' to!
Please note that except where otherwise stated, kits do not include wheels or couplings and that the lengths quoted generally exclude the coupling lengths. Kits can, with the appropriate wheels etc be built for 32 or 45mm gauge unless stated to the contrary.
