Build Your Own Splendid Victorian Coal Yard

Rather excited to present this marvellous coaling stage kit, which lets you construct a proper historical railway scene. We've included everything needed to create a gorgeously detailed coal loading facility complete with a functional crane, brick office building, and expansive canopy roof. It's the sort of thing that will have your layout looking absolutely fabulous.

Why Choose Our Coal Loading Stage?

Versatile Period Appeal: Fits authentically into UK railway eras 2 through 7, so whether your layout spans Victorian times or the 1960s, this works rather nicely.
Thoughtfully Designed Details: Features realistic coal holding pens, a working crane mechanism, and clever clearances throughout to make assembly feel less like climbing Everest.
Lighting Ready: Space built into the design for LED lighting, because who doesn't want their coal yard glowing mysteriously at night.
Flexible Display Options: Works equally well as a locomotive coaling facility, independent coal merchant depot, or general goods loading dock. Quite the showstopper either way.

Product Details

Scale and Finish: Supplied unpainted and unassembled in 3D printed resin, ready for your creative touch with acrylic or enamel paints.
What You'll Need: Windows require careful cutting from transparent sheet material. Minor sanding and filling may be needed for a pristine finish, rather like applying a bit of spit and polish.
Assembly Approach: We've thoughtfully included assembly instructions. Do read through and perform a dry assembly first, as gluing becomes rather permanent afterwards.
Delivery: Dispatched within 7 working days via Royal Mail, reaching you in the UK or abroad.

A Word of Caution: This is a collectible model for adult enthusiasts aged 14 and above. Contains small parts.

Questions about assembly, painting techniques, or display options? We'd be delighted to help. Simply get in touch.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!

RETURNS

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

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.
