Locomotives

Welcome to Our Giant Selection of O Gauge Locomotives

If you are interested in adding to your collection of OO Gauge Locomotives, buying one for the first time or perhaps buying one as a gift, then you’ve come to the right place.

O Gauge is 1:43 Scale and was historically a popular scale in the UK as well as in the USA where it is usually 1:40 Scale.  The larger size is more imposing and for that reason, it is easier to handle although you do need a lot more space if your ambition is to build a large layout.  However, there are some spectacular smaller layouts that have been constructed based around small shunting yards or single track terminus stations so this larger scale should be carefully considered as a very viable option.

The most popular brands for O Gauge Locomotives are Dapol, Heljan and our very own Gaugemaster Collection.

Everyone loves a locomotive and we have a huge selection of Steam Engines, Diesel Locomotives, Electric Locomotives and Multiple Units.

For those of you who operate your model railway traditionally using DC analogue control, there is the biggest choice as this is still regarded as a ‘standard’ locomotive.

For those of you who operate your railway digitally, using DCC control, there are a number of choices available to you.  Items described as DCC Ready are configured for DC (analogue) control but by buying an appropriate DCC decoder separately, you can convert the locomotive to work digitally.  Locomotives described as DCC Fitted already have a decoder fitted inside the locomotive so are good to go immediately.  Locomotives described as DCC Sound already have a DCC decoder, speaker and a sound file loaded so you can enjoy realistic sounds straight out of the box.

We are one of the largest suppliers of O Gauge Locomotives in the world and our experienced expert team (who are all modellers themselves) are on hand to guide you with any advice or suggestions you might need.  Enhance your modelling by buying Dapol, Hejan and Gaugemaster Collection O Gauge Locomotives directly from Gaugemaster – the model shop for BIG imaginations.
