Former GP Models kits

MBS have announced that they have taken over the former GP Models range. It is not yet clear whether all the models will be re-released, but it seems the Barnum coaches are high on the list of priorities. Given the dearth of available GC coach kits, this has to be good news.

Garth Patrick

This post is to record the recent sad passing of Garth Patrick, at one time owner of GP Models, the source of many valuable GC kits.

Garth was a lovely man, and it was always a joy to talk to him at exhibitions. Sadly, due to his ill health his kits have not been available for some time, but they filled an important gap in the market, and many modellers of the GCR in 7mm scale will possess at least one or two.

May he Rest in Peace.
