ACE Silver Jubilee

It has been my pleasure in life to create New Cavendish Books, The London Toy and Model Museum and in the last quarter of century preside over ACE Trains. My earlier years as a Chartered Accountant, property developer and sometime Director of a South Seas sheep farming company and bonded warehouse had their moments but did not compare with my later career diversions mentioned above.

For all this latter day activity I must thank the efforts of John Cooper who designed the majority of New Cavendish Books and then transferred his skills to early ACE coach lithography. Charlotte who took over the administration of ACE, Len Mills whose knowledge of model and die cast toy production has been the backbone of ACE’s predominant position within the Standard O Gauge fraternity.

2020 sees the Silver Jubilee of ACE Trains. To celebrate this event we have produced a 126 page soft bound book of outstanding quality to mark this occasion. It includes 118 colour photographs of a broad range of our output over the last 25 years.

The special commissioned photography taken on the Sunflower Line layout is of superlative quality. Printed on 130gsm art paper, this superb publication is a magnificant tribute to all the painstaking effort that has gone into the production of our series.

We are only publishing 200 copies of this A5 edition. £10 inc. UK postage.
