JAMIE: THANK YOU for sharing that exquisite model! May I assume that it belongs to you? Our down-under mates are full of delightful surprises!

Thanks Tinplate Art.

Yes I am the current caretaker of this model. I think it is the isolation (Ie shipping costs, import duties etc..) that have bred some rather unique models.

Plus the HRCAA (Hornby Railway Collectors Association of Australia) helped foster a cottage industry for O gauge. Other cottage industry Manufacturers were Alan Middleton, Bill Goddard, Maurie Haines, Errol Goddard.

Sadly history is pouring through our fingers as many of these Men have either passed away now or are advance in age. Hopefully someone is documenting the history behind these models...
