Code 3 models are anything from one-off amateur re-painted and/or redecorated models to complete rebuilding
and re-painting, but it is the professionally re-decorated, certificated, model runs of the main-stream die-cast
issues we concern ourselves with here.
Certificated Code 3 runs have appeared since shortly after the launch
of the EFE RT in 1989, but have generally not been well documented - these models are now often highly
sought-after. On this page we hope, over time, to compile a complete list of certificated model runs of
c.50+ models - all are to 1:76 scale unless noted otherwise.


There are also a few miscellaneous bits and pieces at the foot of the page, awaiting a 'proper' home!
