Vintage Thursday

For this look back into the past,  we find a very nice collection of hand built locomotives by a Mr. Frank G. Roomes,  location Cyprus !    Published in  Model Railway News  October 1964.  

These models look superbly built with fine detail and scale fidelity.  I wonder if they are still around and if so,  where are they ?  The  Kirtley / Johnson 0-6-0 is my favorite of the group.  It must've taken a resourceful and talented modeller to build these fine models back in this era of scarce supplies and limited tools.
