Made to Order

Made to Order

Rather than holding large amounts of stock, NZGR operates primarily on a made-to-order basis. This allows us to keep quality high and offer a wider range of models. 

Many of our 3D-printed components are produced overseas. Because of the size of garden railway models, shipping costs can be significant, so we consolidate production into monthly manufacturing runs to keep costs as low as possible for customers. 

Highlights

Some of the features of our models

1

Roller Bearings as Standard

All wheels are currently 3D printed and designed specifically for reliable garden railway operation.
 
Standard flange depth: 1.5 mm (equivalent to Gauge 1 standards) 
Optional flange depths: 2.0 mm or 2.5 mm (available on request) 

Wagon wheels are produced true to scale. If your layout uses non-standard track and requires a wider tyre profile, just let us know when ordering. Locomotive wheels are wider and designed to run smoothly on all common proprietary G gauge track systems.

Every wheelset supplied with wagons, carriages, and locomotives includes roller bearings, helping ensure smooth operation, reduced wear, and minimal maintenance.

Numbers, Liveries & Customisation 

You can request specific wagon or locomotive numbers when placing your order. Available liveries and paint schemes can be selected from the options shown on each product page.

Storage & Transport 

Every wagon and locomotive is supplied in its own custom MDF storage box. Boxes are made to standard sizes and are fully stackable, making transport and storage simple and secure. 

Power

Power Systems

Our locomotives are designed for battery-powered radio control operation. Due to the use of 3D-printed wheels, they are not configured for track power as standard. Advanced modellers may choose to convert them using methods such as conductive coatings, electroplating, or wheel wipers.
