1/24th Scale News and Sales Items
Having been in business for 37 years I am now running down to retirement. Anyone interested in taking over the business in full or in part is invited to contact me. I shall be able to continue providing plans and instructions ad-infinitem and kits and parts as long as I have stock. I shall no longer be building complete models to commission.
An interesting 1/12th scale model of a steam switchback in the style of the preserved Rodeo Switchback. A fairground organ for the centre is included. The model has three rails like the original and the cars can be moved around the track by hand. There is a part built mechanism to drive the ride which the purchaser will need to complete or replace.
Asking price – £1500, the model is located in West London.

1/12th SCALE GALLOPER MODEL
A truly superb model of a galloping horse roundabout in 1/12th scale, i.e. 36″ in diameter, built to a very high standard forty or more years ago. The model is driven by a steam centre engine which runs on compressed air. The model was built using the MFD5 galloper plans and instructions and is therefore perfectly to scale. The builder was an engineer and the model has a number of extra features including universal joints to drive the cranks. For further photos and details and to make an appointment to view contact me. Offers over £5,000 are being invited for this exceptional model.
Parts for a 24 section 4 hill Waltzer as shown. Centre pole, boss, cheese, 16 handrails, 24 gates, 24 shutters, pay box parts and 18 wheels and brackets. Only those parts shown are included – there are no bearings, instructions nor parts to motorise the ride – £75.
