Bassett-Lowke (The Nigel Turner era)

(Northampton UK)

For a synopsis of the history of Bassett-Lowke, post 1965, please refer to the Wikipedia web site, from which the following is extracted :

In 1966 the company was acquired by Messrs Riley and Derry. An effort was apparently made to revive the model railway business around 1969 by Ivan Rutherford Scott, Allen L. Levy and Roland H. Fuller. In the late 1980s Nigel Turner, a Northampton businessman, bought the name and the company was based next to his business of Turner's Musical Merry-Go-Round, near Wootton, Northampton. In 1993 the name was revived with short-run white-metal models. These included a Burrell-type traction engine, Clayton Undertype steam wagon, Burrell-type steam roller, and a London B-type bus. The name was acquired in 1996 by Corgi, which linked it with live steam 0-gauge locomotives. Hornby acquired Corgi in 2008 and, with Corgi, the Bassett-Lowke name.
