Whitemetal locomotive kits

One of the most unsuccessful diversions in the 1970's was the introduction of '00' gauge whitemetal locomotive kits. These were part of a much larger range based on UK prototypes which had been made in England by N C Keyser Ltd (known as K's) to 4mm scale for many years. It would appear that the continental models were to HO (3.5mm/ft) scale.
