Right Hand Drive Models For Railway Layout

Ben has a question that will interest readers in the UK, Australia and New Zealand:

“While building my HO Model Rail layout my wife pointed a rather critical limitation to most commercial products. I am from New Zealand and am building a freelanced ‘coal to synthetic-oil’ refinery layout and realised most, if not all, model vehicles and accessories like road/rail-level crossing electronic part (eg flashers and gates) are built for right hand drive (USA/EU style driving). My layout is left hand drive (New Zealand, Australia, UK, Japan) and so a shortage of stock to import and use on the layout unless I want drivers technically sitting on the wrong side. Does anyone know a place that sells vehicles and accessories suited to left hand drive layouts?”
