according to Google - he's 150 today.

Are the model trains still being made? I'd guess if they are they won't be in the UK. Do any of the steam enthusiasts know?

Still going strong and also now the owners of Lima and Airfix (plus their existing lines of Scalextric etc).

All made in China now, no surprise given the high volume nature of the product.
