D.G.MODELS was first registered in 1971, producing white metal vehicles including 1/43 scale cars, dinky style models, copy dinkies, ‘00’ scale 4mm. kits and conversion kits for code 3 models. The mid eighties saw a change of address to South Staffs and a new business name AUTOCRAFT. The D.G. Models range of vehicles were produced very spasmodically during the 1980s - 90s as other, newly introduced ranges took precedence. Due to a strong demand from the railway side of the hobby the D.G. ‘00’ scale vehicle kits were reintroduced some 10 years ago and added to with new models. On relocating one of the old work units at the beginning of 2002 some moulds and small quantities of castings and finished models came to light, which are now being completed.
