It's with heavy hearts and great sadness that we were informed of the passing of Paddy Murphy of Murphy's Models.

Paddy was the guiding light into Irish railway modelling. His products helped redefine entire ranges. Setting the standard higher each time.
Aside from that massive achievement.
Paddy was always at shows. Always happy to chat and discuss his latest projects and plans for the future.
Paddy would come round to the shop occasionally to deliver product to ourselves. You'd see his land rover pull right up to the door with someone shouting "Paddys here" everything would be dropped to help him carry things in and have a sneaky peek at whatever he brought along.

Things won't be the same without Paddy around. Shows will just be that little bit quieter.
We'll miss you Paddy.
Our condolences to your family and everyone who knew you like we did.

Your friends.
The whole team at Marks Models

So we've started seeing some up coming items coming from the Nuremberg toy fair.
Tamiya leading strong with two new 1/35th kits.
An M24 Chaffee and a wide tyred Schwimmwagen.
Both should prove very popular.

Hows this for a surprise. Completely unexpected and a brilliant idea in my opinion.
The ultimate pallete cleanser and probably some of the most interesting painting projects. The scope for blending, wet-brushing, dry brushing and lining is unparalleled.
Sure to be a massive boost to the range of plastic kits and a game changer to be sure.

Two highlights from new stock.

Hasegawas Jordan 192 1/24th scale model kit. Very glad to see this classic back.

Hornby railroad range LNER class 800 extra coaches to go with the new trainset released just before Christmas allowing you to easily lengthen a rake.

23/01/2026

Couple more new Hornby locomotives in stock. Two Deltics. One fitted with DCC sound and the other just a regular analogue loco.
The rather large and imposing steam locomotive is Hornbys Thompson A2 fitted with DCC sound and a smoke generator for the ultimate in immersive modelling.

Two new Locomotives in from Hornby.
Their ever impressive Bullied Merchant Navy in early British railways blue and the gorgeous Great Western Saint, a model of Lady of Legend.
