Build Your Own Slice of Railway History
Right then, imagine this: you've got a rather splendid opportunity to construct a proper, rather good model of Gainsborough Central Station's Platform 1 building. We've based this kit on the actual station structures that stood there from the 1920s right through to the 1950s, which is to say it's absolutely brimming with historical authenticity. Fair warning though, it does arrive unpainted and unassembled, which means you'll need a modicum of patience and perhaps a steady hand. Utterly fetching for model railway enthusiasts, really.
Why Choose Our Station Building Model
Historically Accurate Detail: Meticulously designed to capture the station as it appeared during UK Railway Eras 3 through 4, though earlier and later variations can be replicated with a bit of creative modification. Rather clever, that.
LED Lighting Ready: The design includes dedicated space for LED lighting installation, which means your finished model can be wonderfully atmospheric when the lights go down.
Thoughtfully Engineered Assembly: Clearances have been included throughout to help make assembly rather less of a headache than one might expect. We've included a tool to help you cut windows properly from the transparent sheet material provided.
Works Across All Eras: Compatible with UK Railway Eras 1 through 11, so your model fits seamlessly into virtually any layout you fancy.
Product Details
Scale: OO and HO scale options available
Material: 3D printed resin, ready for acrylic or enamel paints. May require light sanding and filling for a fabulously finished appearance
What You Receive: Platform 1 structure as an unassembled, unpainted kit. Windows require cutting from a separate transparent sheet using the provided tool
Assembly Advice: Do read through the instructions and dry assemble before committing to glue. Sensible precaution, that

This is genuinely rather good for serious model railway collectors. Not suitable for young children due to small parts. Adult collectors aged 14 and above only, please.

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
