Model Railway History

Robert has made a particular study of the history of UK commercial model railways. Manufacturers from Hornby to MTK are covered in his Locomotive Profiles, Kit Manufacturer Project (jointly undertaken with The Kit Exchange) and BR Standard Coach Model History.

Publication of the first volume in the Kit Manufacturer Project took place in March 2000. Listings have been supplied for the second edition of John Ramsay's British Model Trains Catalogue.
