Bekkerail

I live in Dana Bay just outside Mossel Bay in the Garden Route region which is situated on the south east coast of South Africa.

I build detailed model trains of the South African Railways in HO scale and I specialize in steam locomotive classes namely all the 25 classes, the Red Devil class 26, the class 16E and recently added the 15CA and the ever popular 15F is in the pipeline.

All my locomotives are hand built by myself, no factory in the world produces models of South African steam locomotives and no one else can offer what I make.

Other items that I have done includes the Royal Train of 1947, the Old Blue train and the Drakensberg Express as well as some other mainline coaches. These can be seen on my Face Book pages at Bekkerail- SAR model trains in HO.

I am proud to say that since 2008 I have built more than 350 locomotives and none was returned due to poor workmanship or for any other reason.

There is a waiting period of a few weeks depending on the orders on hand. Email me at gordon@miniworldmodels.com or go to my contacts page.

 

NOTE: If you have a Mehano chassis, 4-8-2 Mountain and you would like me to build you a loco, you can supply the chassis and I will give you a fair trade-in amount for your chassis.

Full Steam Ahead - SAR model train legends unite -

It is with great excitement that Bekkerail and Mini World Models have decided to join forces and further improve their respective

services to the SAR model train market in South Africa and abroad.

Eric Bekker (Bekkerail) and Gordon Winson (Mini World Models) have united and will build a product range that maintains

the high level of excellence that they both enjoy.

Core to the strategy will be to continue and grow the great relationships and partnerships they currently serve in the local market and then

expansion to markets abroad will be driven by the digital strategy and its online e-commerce options and social media channels.

Manufacturing in this new venture will in the New Year (2019) be handled by Gordon Winson and his team, while Eric Bekker will

move his expertise into an advisory role for the business.

The manufacturing facility will be located at

Unit 11, George Business Park, Albert Street, George.

Eric and Gordon are super excited in what they can achieve together and hope to shine a bright light on how they continue to create

products of the highest standard to the SAR model train world.

Best wishes,

Eric Bekker and Gordon Winson
