I have recently received the following E-Mail


Hello from Sweden
 
Congratulations to your very interesting home-page!!
 
Kitmaster kits are quite rare in Sweden probably because the scale 00. Marklin and Fleicschmann won the race during the fifties so the common scale here is H0. But as I always have had an interest for Britain and British plastic models I have collected some Kitmaster kits and catalogues. Another big interest is aircraft modelling (Airfix, Frog) but I find everything about transportation quite thrilling.
 
Now I have found a 1959 trade catalogue and 1960 catalogue with Swedish text. By the way, the 1961 Dutch catalogue on your home-page is in fact with Swedish text and not Dutch. 
 
My collection consists today of a dozen models, built and un-built. I have also found a Humbrol livery lining colour kit. Un-built I have found the Deltic, Pullman power car, French Mountain, Biggin Hill and Evening Star. And some other locos and wagons. 
 
I bought some Kitmaster wagons here in Sweden during the sixties and I think the brand was heavily promoted and was found in several hobby-shops at the time.
 
Best Regards and a Merry X-mass and a Happy New Year.

Thanks Sven, so there we are, not a Dutch Catalogue after all but Swedish!
