PLEASE NOTE: Due to unfortunate circumstances, ALL KITS LISTED ON THIS PAGE ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE. WE CANNOT GIVE ANY PRICE OR DELIVERY DETAILS AT PRESENT. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause. For the latest information, please see our R&D page.

WELCOME to the Impetus page, currently a simple, illustrated table. As kits become available, more detailed specifications, with photographs, will be included.
Unless otherwise stated, all kits are principally of etched brass, with etched nickel silver where appropriate. Detail fittings are a mixture of turned brass, lost wax brass and/or whitemetal castings. Coach kits generally include an extruded aluminium roof. All kits require wheels, motor, gears etc. as necessary to complete - we can supply all these from stock. Clear step-by-step written and illustrated instructions are supplied with all kits.

NOTE: When ordering locomotives or nameplates, please remember to prefix the order code with a 4 or 7 to denote which scale you require.
