Graham Farish is a name you’re likely to come across if you're interested in British model railways, especially in the smaller N gauge scale. Established in 1928 and known for its expertise in this niche, Graham Farish became synonymous with compact, finely detailed models that allow enthusiasts to create sprawling layouts in limited space. N gauge, scaled at 1:148, is particularly popular for those who may not have room for larger gauges like OO or O but still want the satisfaction of a complex and detailed railway scene. This smaller scale means that you can pack more track, scenery and action into a given area, making it ideal for enthusiasts who enjoy intricate, space-efficient layouts.
One of the standout features of Graham Farish models is the commitment to British rail history and authenticity. Their range of locomotives, carriages, wagons and accessories reflects the real British railways, from steam-powered icons of the early 20th century to modern diesels and electric trains. Whether you're interested in modelling the nostalgic era of British Rail steam or a contemporary commuter line, Graham Farish offers a wide range of options to capture that specific time period. This variety makes it a go-to for those who want to recreate scenes that feel true to life, down to the smallest detail.
Under the stewardship of Bachmann Europe since 2001, Graham Farish has benefited from modern production techniques and design innovations. This partnership has led to improvements in the quality and performance of the models, particularly in the details and running mechanics. N gauge trains, though smaller, are still highly intricate and Graham Farish has managed to maintain an impressive level of accuracy in the livery, proportions and textures of its models. Bachmann’s investment in digital control compatibility has also helped Graham Farish models stay up-to-date, catering to modellers who want digital sound, lighting and realistic engine performance in their N gauge trains.
Graham Farish models are compatible with other N gauge products, so you can easily integrate items from other brands or expand on a layout over time without compatibility issues.
