A Rather Splendid Coal Depot for Your Model Railway

Right then, if you've ever wanted to add a touch of industrial authenticity to your model railway layout without accidentally gluing your fingers together (though let's be honest, there's a decent chance of that), this is precisely what you need. This beautifully crafted Coal Loading Stage is one of those gloriously detailed additions that transforms a simple track into something that looks rather like it actually existed.

Why Choose Our Coal Loading Stage

Wonderfully Versatile: Whether you're depicting a working locomotive coaling facility, a coal merchant's yard, or simply a general goods loading dock, this model handles it all with aplomb. It's the sort of thing that makes fellow enthusiasts lean in for a closer look.

Architecturally Sound: The kit features a small brick office building and a substantial canopy roof that spans the platform and tracks. Throw in the coal holding pens and working crane model, and you've got yourself quite the showstopper.

Future-Proofed: Space for LED lighting has been thoughtfully included in the design, should you wish to add some atmospheric illumination down the line.

Carefully Considered Assembly: Clearances have been included throughout to aid the building process, and the instructions are genuinely helpful. A dry assembly before gluing is rather recommended.

Product Details

Scale and Compatibility: OO and HO gauge. Compatible with UK model railway eras 2 through 7.

What You're Getting: An unpainted 3D printed resin kit, ready for your artistic ministrations with acrylic or enamel paints. A spot of sanding and filling may be required, but that's rather part of the charm.

Window Treatment: Windows require cutting out separately from transparent sheet material. It's a bit fiddly, but nothing you can't manage.

Dispatch and Delivery: Orders typically dispatch within 7 working days via Royal Mail, whether you're in the UK or abroad.

A Word of Caution: This is an adult collector's model for ages 14 and above. Small parts present a choking hazard. Not suitable for young children.

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.
