About Us

Robin Stanbury

The Model Masters story actually starts in September 1975, when  Robin Stanbury first met the UK representatives for Fleischmann Model Railways at one of their dealer training courses in Bristol. Enthusiasm for the hobby resulted in the construction of a huge N gauge railway layout in the Grand Panorama hotel in Weston super Mare. This was then shown at London before moving on to its now permanent home at the Old Tea Rooms on York Railway Station.

This proved to become the first of many layouts constructed for clients using the standard proprietary kits and models from the leading manufacturers of Europe.

Grand Panorama

The use and experience gained in working with these model kits and accessories over a long period had been the basis of the current collection of items offered for sale by Model Masters.

Robin was also closely involved with the original construction of the Euro Tunnel Models prior to the opening of the Channel Tunnel, acting as a build and operation consultant.
