Meet Gary Long
I am Gary Long, a model maker with more than 25 years of experience creating
bespoke designs, scenic pieces, and custom builds. Every project is treated as a
one-off, with the aim of making it feel distinctive, memorable, and built around
your brief.
That experience includes television work as well as private commissions, giving each
project the benefit of practical knowledge, creative problem-solving, and a strong
eye for what makes a build stand out.
We blend technology and traditional skills to produce exactly the right model for
your design, whether for a model railway, slot car, bespoke scenic module, or
building to your exacting specification.
A fully personal service from first conversation to final build.
Our Tailored Approach
If you can imagine it we can build it.
We begin by understanding your vision: era, scale, operation style, and display
goals. From there, we shape a build plan that balances realism, practicality, and
budget for either railway or slot car projects.
- Call or Email to discuss your requirements anything considered.
- Fully collaborative planning before construction starts.
- Careful material and component selection to your budget.
- Lighting and other scenic effects where they add the right atmosphere.
- Consistent quality checks throughout each stage.
Who We Work With
Our commission work supports enthusiasts, collectors, clubs, and event layouts.
Whether you need one showcase model or a complete scene, each project is treated
with equal care across rail and slot car builds.
- Private commission clients.
- Railway clubs, slot car groups, and display teams.
- Museums, charities, and trusts creating educational and knowledge-led exhibits.
- Collectors seeking one-of-a-kind models.
Exhibitions And Shows
Our work has been seen at countless exhibitions and shows, especially model railway
events across the country. These appearances have helped build a reputation for
detail, atmosphere, and models that hold attention in a busy exhibition setting.
- Featured regularly at model railway exhibitions nationwide.
- Built to stand out both on display and in operation.
- Frequently recognised with Best in Show awards.
