Kits and detail parts of (mostly) NZR protoypes designed with a high level of detail Who is Back Bar Models?

Some of you may know me as Rick Schreuder, an Auckland modeller with an interest in 1900's era NZR as wel as some European prototypes. The models you see on this page are the result of some CAD drawing I have done in my spare time. Although most models centre around the 1900's era, most kits have options to allow the modeller to model most versions of a prototype over the years, some lasting into the Diesel era. I'm adding new stuff all the time so don't forget to check in every now and then

To start 2025 with some great news, the L kits are finally here! It has been a long journey to get to this point, which I'm sure will be worth the wait. I will be in touch with those who have placed orders already. If you haven't, there are a couple of kits available in this batch.

For those who ordered RTR models, these will be built this year

L loco kit update.

Things have been quiet lately, but things are moving behind the scenes. For the first batch of kits all the castings are in hand, as are the etches.

Work is progressing on machining all the wheels for the loco. This is no quick task, with 60 wheels all up to machine.

Unfortunately, like a few other manufacturers, we are still waiting on parts from some suppliers that were ordered months and months ago.

Hopefully these issues will resolve themselves soon, in the meantime work continues on the wheels, which will come pre-assembled and quartered to take the tricky bits out of the kit build

We're almost ready to send out another lot of plates for etching, get in touch now if you want to order some plates for your projects!

Recently added to the collection of drawings is the distinctive A&G Price numerals. Locos produced by A&G price carried plates with a much plainer style of numerals than the plates cast by NZR workshops. Our range of plates now reflect this subtle detail to give your models that little bit of extra authenticity

It's finally here! The Cleminsons underframe variant. This is the second and last evolution of the 6-wheelers on NZR rails. This variant lasted a bit longer than the original version, and isolated or out of the way sections such as the Kaihu Valley section kept some long after they disappeared from the rest of the NZR.

A lot of time has been spent under the sole survivor of this car, measuring up and reverse engineering the changes made in preservation. The model is very faithful to the prototype, and is offered in an as-built version, or a post-1900 version with air brakes.

Because the etch takes a few tricks to assemble, it will only be offered as a ready to run model.
A fully assembled underframe will cost you $180, which will get you an all brass underframe, painted satin black with either Kadee or NZR couplers of your choice.
