Union Mills N gauge locomotives - Still in production - Production list and dates

[Mark Ellis]

Just an information page really.

I got fed up with seeing second hand Union Mills locos being sold for twice the price of new ones directly from Colin. I was also aware that Colin is old school, and doesn't use internet advertising. So I created a Union Mills N Gauge locomotive appreciation group on Facebook. The initial idea was to have an internet presence of all the locos that Colin has made over the years.

I've now created an unofficial signposting website on the internet, to help raise awareness of Colin's great models - which directs people to the unofficial Facebook group. The website is also a better way to display text files, such as all the loco sheets compared to Facebook

The Facebook group is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Union.M ... tion.Group

This web page and the Facebook group are not connected in any way to Union Mills N gauge models.

If you wish to buy any Union Mills Models then contact Colin at colin.h@manx.net or ring him on 01624 852 896 to check availability of these wonderful locomotives. Unions Mills Models Ltd are at Unit 5, Union Mills Trading Estate, Union Mills, Isle of Man IM4 4AB.

Colin's locos might be too basic for some, but are reliable and long lasting.
When Colin was asked for the Release dates, Colin advised this of his first locos-

If you would like to share any photographs of Union Mills locos to display on the Facebook page or the website, then please make it clear which model the photo is of. On Facebook, you can either add them directly into the relevant loco's album, or I can drop them into the photo album for you. Please ensure that you are only uploading your own photos, and that they clearly show the loco rather than just a train on a layout.

If you detail or modify any loco, then we would love to see photos and video of that process.

Photo albums are now stored in the Media section, at

Great idea I now own nearly 2 dozen of Colin's excellent locos. They're fantastic runners, hauling huge loads with ease.

As of my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021, I don't have access to real-time or the most up-to-date information about Union Mills N gauge locomotives. However, I can provide you with a general overview of their offerings and some historical context up to that point.

Union Mills Models is a British manufacturer known for producing high-quality N gauge (1:148 scale) model railway locomotives and rolling stock. Their models are renowned for their attention to detail and smooth running characteristics. Keep in mind that the information might have changed since my last update.

Some of the locomotives produced by Union Mills Models up until 2021 include:

GWR 5700 Class Pannier Tank
LMS Ivatt Class 2MT
LMS Fowler 3F "Jinty" Tank
LNER Class J72
LNER/BR Thompson Class L1
GWR 8750 Class Pannier Tank
It's important to note that Union Mills Models is a small company and their production schedule and availability may vary. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on their current production list and dates, I recommend visiting their official website or contacting them directly.
