Welcome to Scalecraft

We are specialists dedicated to South African railroad modelling in South Africa. Our factory, based in Cape Town, caters for the most descerning specialist modeller. Our RTR ( Ready To Run ) models are hand built by specialists, from lasercut, resin cast, injection moulded and brass etched parts. Dedicated staff assemble each model to be as authentic as possible. South African railway modellers have been limited in the past to a small number of SAR models. The models were of a very low quality and were built on a small scale by cottage industries. Scalecraft consolidated the cottage industries and brought all the models to the highest standard. Not only does Scalecraft manufacture early SAR coaches such as the C16, C30 passenger coaches, but we also manufacture modern Spoornet locomotives & rolling stock. Scalecraft has developed numerous new models such as the Vapour Clarkson steam car, FSLJ-4 long body beer wagon, H-32 3rd class Trans Karoo passenger coach and many more. Scalecraft also stocks various building & structures such as the Hekpoort station, milk cooling room and even scale Wendy Houses. Our catalog is filled with all sorts of specialist railroad products that you will not be able to find elesewhere, such as, injection moulded passenger coach bogies ( Sarcast, Spoorbarber and HS MK VII ), various led trackside items like signals & yard lamps and all sorts of other goodies.
