Has any member any knowledge of Scale Models by Ratio (124 Series) these are a wooden kit, very basic but the quality seems quite good for their age

748 and 749 stamped on the end of the box. Price on box £1.50. They were made by Webster Development Co. Chorleywood, Herts

 

Anyone who could help with any info would be appreciated

Richard,
If you look in some 1950s mags you will probably find ads for these. Pretty much what Ratio started with, wooden kits for coaches similar to the CCW range of similar vintage. What more info do you want?

----- from Nigel Brown -----

The Webster bit is Roger Webster, who ran Ratio, until he sold the business to Peco. He was also the Webster of the 7mm scale GWR wagons which were taken over by Peco at a somewhat earlier date.

In its early years Ratio also produced wooden goods wagons and buildings, again nicely done for the times.
