3DModels and Development (3D Models) was established in 2014 by the owner Len Swanepoel. The first highly detailed model developed by 3D MODELS was a typical SAR Coal stage in HO scale.

Since inception, the company had designed over 190 unique HO scale models of South African Railways (SAR) and South African Heritage buildings and structures of which most are still in production today.

3DModels strive to enable modelers to build typical SAR layouts and dioramas in a high level of detail by producing high quality and well detailed models. 3DModels at present have an offering of 120 plus SAR specific structures, buildings and detail items available for modelers and artists modelling the South African theme
