After more than 15 successful years running Argyle Loco Works (ALW), the owners are ready to retire, creating a rare opportunity to acquire one of Australia’s most respected names in the Garden Gauge model railway industry.

This home-based, online business supplies steam and electric locomotives, rolling stock, track, accessories and parts to a passionate, growing global market. With models in scales from 1:13.7 to 1:32 and gauges 32mm (‘O’) and 45mm (‘1’), ALW serves a loyal and diverse customer base, from beginners to collectors of finely detailed replicas.

Business Highlights:
* Over 30 years of brand history and 1,000+ active customers
* Low-overhead, home-based operation – ideal for a solo operator or couple
* Established supplier relationships and proven revenue streams
* Opportunities to expand into second-hand and estate sales
* Potential to grow brand visibility via social media, newsletters, and events

Future Growth Opportunities:
* New Australian prototypes: Research complete and development underway – a lucrative revenue stream for the next owner.
* Parts & spares: Partner with other suppliers to offer complete solutions.
* Marketplace expansion: Act as a trusted intermediary for pre-owned models.
* Community engagement: Attend events, conventions and ‘Steamups’ locally and overseas to drive market growth.

Beyond being a profitable, established business, Argyle Loco Works offers a unique lifestyle - connecting with fellow enthusiasts, shaping new product development, and travelling internationally for events and research.
