A bit about Kitwood Hill Models :

The limited company started trading January 2012 but the business reverted to sole trader in July 2025, mainly to simplify accounting and life in general!

Kitwood Hill Models has been my full time day job since 2018. The business has been growing steadily year on year. Massive thanks to all my customers, old and new! 🙂

A bit about me, Simon Cox :

As a kid I “discovered” model railways from an old Tri-ang catalog while collecting for a Scout jumble sale.  Before long I was the proud owner of a Hornby OO layout. By age 15 I had progressed to a respectable attempt in OO gauge of GWR’s Cornish branch terminus at Helston … just about the same time I discovered girls; Helston never got finished.

In the 1990s I re-connected with my passion for railways. My interests had moved from GWR to Narrow Gauge and I built a series of 009 layouts. In 2000 I moved upscale to O scale, dabbled with 0-16.5 for a while, and then came On30. Big trees, big scenery, I was hooked and have been ever since.

Today, I am part of an On30 modular group, The Surrey and Sussex Black Sheep, and the bulk of my modelling is modular based – in On30, US O (2 rail) and UK O scale.
