17D's Miniature Railway Parts Shop - Now
open!
Buy miniature railway
parts online. Frequent visitors to our website will notice
a change of design, but more interestingly, we have now moved all our parts, components
and material information into a new on-line shop.
All our laser cut chassis parts, chassis components, fixings, steel bar and sheet, buffers
and loco parts can now be ordered - and paid for - online straight from this site.

Ready to run Wagons
We have, for the time being at least, kept our ready to run wagons separate from the on-line
parts shop, because of the complexity of some of the options and the varying lead times, and the requirement
only to pay a deposit when ordering. Follow these links:

They are ideal for the self builder
wishing to make a head start on a wagon project, and can be modified to your own spec when
required. Note the (dummy) leaf springs, brake gear and axle
boxes which are indicative of the level of detailing for all our wagons.
Our design and construction methods ensure a wagon which is rugged and
usable as well as good to look at - and all at a surprising price!
Good does NOT need to equal expensive, as some other suppliers' prices
might seem to suggest!
CNC Machining

We have recently
added CNC machining to the list of services we can provide in-house, thus enabling - us to produce CNC machined
con-rods, coupling rods and other components at very
competitive prices.

A note about
prices:
At 17D Miniatures our policy is
to work to keep margins as low as practically possible in order to bring quality models and
parts to the market at very competitive prices. A comparison with other similar suppliers
will confirm this to be the case on the vast majority of our products.
However, with such tight
margins, this means we cannot afford to always absorb raw materials cost increases. Steel
prices in particular - a major part of all our products - can be very volatile. For this reason
we may need to adjust our prices more frequently than we would like, so please check the latest
downloadable pricelist before ordering, or give us a call.
