Aristocraft was established in 1983 and have continued to build a range of innovative off-the-shelf, ride-on scale rolling stock.

The coaches and wagons are superbly detailed and are available in a variety of railway liveries, covering the four pre-nationalised railway companies as well as British Railways. Coach liveries of the similar pre-grouping railways and current rail companies can also be produced  by arrangement.

The use of innovative design and sound engineering practice, combined with super-detailed castings and mouldings have enabled extremely strong, exhibition standard rolling stock to be produced at affordable prices.

Originally established in 1983 by Rob Hall, before starting his Aristocraft business, Rob was an accomplished model engineer. He has been awarded two bronze medals, two silver medals and one of the major awards at the prestigious Model Engineer Exhibition, London, for the models that he designed and built.

Aristocraft has led the market since its inception, has produced most of the commercial stock and has no doubt been an inspiration for others to follow.  Aristocraft have also built many industrial models, including a 7.1/4" gauge Travelling Post Office coach, complete with working mail delivery and pick-up apparatus which was commissioned by the Post Office and has been on display in the National Railway Museum, York, as the centrepiece of the '150 Years of Mail by Rail' exhibition.
