John Gluyas was a long time collector of both gauge 0 and gauge 1 trains who produced three models in the early to mid 1990s. His first model was a Southern Railway Bulleid West Country 4-6-2 pacific tender loco, number 21C108 Padsow. One unnumbered model in British Railways livery is known. Are other names, numbers or liveries known? Total production approximately 60 models, which were available 12v DC, 20v AC and battery powered, the batteries being housed in the tender. Each model was issued in a wooden storage box.
The second model was a Metropolitan Railway Westinghouse Camelback Bo Bo electric loco in full Metropolitan Railway livery, each, again, being issued in a purpose built wooden storage box. A minimum of seven Met locos were made, 6 being 12 DC (3 rail) and the 7th battery powered.
The third and final model was LNER N2 0-6-2 tank loco, being a 'scaled up' three rail 0 gauge copy of the well known Hornby Dublo model. At least two were produced, with wooden boxes.
