John Riley

Having started Finescalebrass some 17 years ago, I am now retired and work part time with the model business

.As explained above I felt it was important to differentiate the two manufacturers. Finescalebrass models are new sold out and no spares are available.

My interest in model railways started over 60 years ago and like many of you moved to the larger scales in my "later" years. The face of 55H at exhibitions as well as the voice on the phone.

Dawn Riley

Helping me with administration and occasionally at exhibitions, without Dawn's understanding, help and support there is no doubt that this Company would not have happened.

Paul Moore

Paul provide us with a professional weathering and coaling service to take your models to the next level of realism. He is a professional model painter and is in my opinion one of the best in the business

Lawrie Loveless

My friend and mentor who has helped me move from "standard" O gauge models to ones of the highest quality. There is no doubt that without his support and advice 55H would not be the company it is today, to say he has been there, seen it, done it, is something of an understatement.

Bryan Robertson
