Knightwing Models International

Welcome to the Knightwing website:

The Knightwing Models International Website where you can now buy direct from the manufacturer.

Knightwing Models are at the forefront of developing and producing plastic and white metal modern image kits and accessories for the discerning railway modeller for over twenty years. Steam has not been left behind as our range of items for the steam modeller is constantly growing and improving.

Our history is one which sees the staff at Knightwing, from our designers right through our production department, being railway orientated. Ian our chief designer, is a long standing modeller and railway enthusiast. Mel, the guy in charge, still reads his old Loco Spotting Combines as well as being the 'idiot' (not his description) who plunged the firm into preservation.

Knightwing Models International are also the proud owners of over ten preserved vehicles which include the Class 85 Electric loco at Barrow Hill, Roundhouse in Derbyshire.

So you can see where our funds end up, not in the back pockets of 'suits' who can't tell the difference between a Castle and a Deltic or spent hours getting wet through chasing their favourite loco around the country, camera in hand!

Please remember we are rail fans as well as modellers so we are always willing to listen to our customers. New ideas and feedback are always welcome and we are not infallible.

Here at Knightwing we are always trying to think up ways to improve our service and get a more interactive dialogue with our customers. For too many years many well known manufacturers have talked the talk but chosen to do their own thing in regard to modeller's ideas and concerns. While financial limitations stop us producing all the things we as modellers would like, we are trying to be as innovative as possible. With this in mind we are looking to you, our customers, to help us get our act together and any ideas, thoughts etc would be most welcome.

If you want to talk to Mel (he thinks he runs the firm) on any subject regarding Knightwing give him a ring after 6.00 at night. He will try to answer any question, regarding our products or listen to ways we can improve. (Tel 01484 532382).

PICK & MIX
If in any of our White Metal kits there are items in those kits where you want more than 2/3 kits (ie where there are just one or two items, but you require 8 or 9 or whatever) we will make up special packs for you of just the item you want. Prices will vary according to the item, but we will keep the prices sensible.

Please send all enquiries to the address below.

OO COLOUR LIGHT SIGNALS

For accurate, good quality and reasonably priced OO Colour Light Signals kits, which are easy to put together, not our words but those of our customers try our kits PM119 and PM120. These do not operate, but do look the part on any layout - we use them ourselves. Don't take our word, why not look at the kits on this website?

PM119 3/4 Aspect Signals makes four per pack for only Ł9.95

PM120 4 Aspect Signals with Route Indicators two per pack with one right & one left indicator for only Ł8.95

As a taster we will happily send you just one pack or any number of packs so you get a flavour of them Post Free!

Be warned, you could easily get hooked and end up completely signalling your layout! A job you always intended to do but with the price of operating signals and the difficulty operating them when your driving your locos its one task too many for most of us.

Even on the real railways the signal man and a loco crew are both professional in their different work place and rely on each other.
