Platform Collectables
Welcome to Platform Collectables – where I bring model locomotives back to life, one service at a time.
I specialise in repairing, servicing and restoring N and OO gauge locos, including DCC fitting and diagnostics. You'll also find regular running videos, test runs after repairs, and the odd workshop discovery along the way.
A lot of this started with my grandad’s old layout, which I’ve been slowly bringing back to life – so there’s a mix of personal nostalgia and proper hands-on repairs here.
If you’re into model railways, enjoy seeing locos running smoothly again, or just like a bit of behind-the-scenes workshop content, you’re in the right place.
📸 Follow along on Instagram for more behind-the-scenes bits.
🌐 You can also book in your own loco for repair or service via my website.
