Four coarse scale 0 gauge model locomotives built by Demac were sold by Vectis Auctions, September 2008, with two subsequently resold via Stop the Drop Auction
A fifth locomotive, LNER V2 class 2-6-2 4771 Green Arrow, originally clockwork but converted to electric, was owned by the late Reverend Alan Cliff.
All five models are marked Demac, but who is, or was, Demac? An engineer employed by Matchbox has been suggested. Any information will be appreciated.
