Hello and welcome to Pacific Models. My name is Ian Wilson and I design and produce the railway models and accessories featured on this website.

I was the originator of the Prototype Models range of cardboard construction kits, and a former director of Slaters Plastikard. For many years I was the track plan illustrator for British Railway Modelling magazine, so my model railway pedigree goes back a long way!

Our BESPOKE SHEETS will give your layouts and locos a personal touch - whether it is station and signal box nameboards for your own stations or smokebox numbers for locos which are different to the commercially available ones (including LMS style smokebox numbers).

Smokebox Numberplates

Smokebox Numberplates help you to apply the correct number to the front of your locos with a minimum of effort. They are available in 4mm (OO) and 7mm (O) scales, and each sheet contains the numbers of all locos in a class running in 1955, plus standard classes built after then.

USA Diesel Numberboards

If you plan to customise a locomotive with the number of your choice, the trickiest part is patching together four numberboards from a decal sheet. Our range of diesel numberboards for Eastern Roads gives you the whole class, with variations in style where appropriate.
