Manufacturer description

Exclusive to Rails

Iron Mink Van in BR Freight Grey No.W69552

Rails is leading the way and innovating for model enthusiasts. These models have been researched, designed and produced solely in the UK.

Manufactured using new cutting-edge technologies featuring:

A new, ultra high resolution, super strong aeronautical grade PU with a design life exceeding 25 years.
A build process using the very latest light technology and is infinitely flexible for making all variants.
Low volume production potential for niche, products previously not capable of being produced economically for RTR.

Rails aim to fill the need for niche products, which simply would not justify a large production run. As they are produced in limited quantities, these vans are priced slightly higher than mass produced items, however, we feel the price reflects fantastic value for such distinctive models.

A tremendous amount of research and development has been put into this project to ensure accuracy and true replication has been achieved.
