Darlington Model Railway Club

The most memorable collections don't just showcase great models - they bring iconic stories back to life.

The Corgi Avengers Gift Set celebrates one of Britain's most recognisable television classics with beautifully crafted vehicles presented in a collector's edition that's just as impressive on display as it is in its packaging.

Whether you're a lifelong fan of classic British TV or searching for a standout vintage diecast piece, this set deserves a place in your collection.

Peco is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, and as part of our celebrations we have chosen Rowcroft Hospice as our nominated charity for 2026.
This means a great deal to one of our staff members, Carl, as Peco selected Rowcroft in memory of his wife, Louise, who sadly passed away there in March last year.
On Saturday 5th September at 9.00am we are taking part in an epic charity walk from Cockington, Torquay, along the John Musgrave trail to Totnes
It would mean a great deal to us if you are able to help raise money for this amazing charity. We will be raising money through this fundraising page and onsite at Pecorama while we are open during August.

Thank you from PECO

Whilst we constantly strive to improve our products, we do not always set time aside to do the small, but meaningful admin tasks that shouldn't go undone!

One of those tasks is to thank all of our followers for joining Trainsporters on its journey to becoming a successful box supplier, for the hobby we all love.

Having now accumulated almost 1,400 followers, across social media platforms, its time to put that right. After all, without our supporters, customers, and friends we would not have been as successful as we are today. A long way to go, and we are not resting on our laurels, but time to give credit where credit is due and to say THANK YOU.

This year has seen the biggest growth for us as a business and we could not have done that without you. Especially at times such as the theft of our van and other lows of this year alone. Your support really has helped to keep our heads above water and push on.

We want to take our wonderful community of friends and supporters on the next steps of our journey as we start to expand our range and update the website.

But for now and with the highest degree of gratitude, its right to recognise you all.

My sincerest regards,

Mark
