      Tom unfortunately died, just as supplies of the essential raw materials from Malaya were beginning to come back on stream. His brother, Johnnie, took over, but the railway market was gone by that point, and he took the business in a very different direction.

      Largely forgotten pioneer of rubber band propulsion for model railways. Cobley’s company was known for its resilience and was briefly successful during the inter war period but a shortage of raw materials from the plantations in Malaya after the second world war stretched the business almost to breaking point. The hoped for bounce-back never happened and the company was eventually erased.

      I'm on slightly firmer ground with models as opposed to the real thing - IRM, Murphy, Provincial Wagons, JM, Dapol, Past Avenue, Gareth Brennan, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all?
