Our model railway insurance is designed to provide you with extensive cover for loss or damage to your models such as model railways, locomotives, rolling stock, layouts and your ancillary equipment such as controllers and road trailers.
Personal collection model insurance
We can tailor your cover to include your home workshop. This covers you for loss or damage to the buildings of your home workshop as well as your workshop tools, equipment, work in progress and raw materials by specified causes such as accidental damage, fire and theft. Please see policy wording for full details on the terms and conditions.
Public liability insurance whilst exhibiting your collection
If you exhibit your collection or allow members of the public to view your collection, then having public liability cover is a must. Model railway public liability insurance will cover you for accidental injury or illness caused to third parties for which you are negligent or at fault responsible for up to the agreed limit of indemnity.
Road trailer cover
As a modeller, you may need a trailer to transport your collection to exhibitions, events, club meetings etc. Model railway insurance offers road trailer cover for anywhere in the UK and Europe.
Cover applies to trailers both when they are attached and detached. When the trailer is not in use and is unattached from the towing vehicle, it is mandatory that the trailer is fitted with either a wheel clamp or a hitchlock. If it is not and the trailer is stolen the £100 excess will be increased to £500. Exclusions apply such as loss or damage to contents within the trailer.
Cover includes the hire of an alternative trailer following theft or damage to the trailer insured, subject to a maximum amount of £20 per day (maximum 10 days). The need for an alternative trailer must be a modelling & model engineering related activity.
