About the book >.>.> Roland Fuller was the last surviving member of the Bassett-Lowke team and was intimately involved in the running of the Company during its golden years. Although he did not join the company until 1919 he was in a fortunate position to know the personalities who guided the firm over its first glorious years from 1899. Roland Fuller literally rose from the bottom of the firm to become general manager shortly after the second world war. After the death of W.J. Bassett-Lowke in 1953 he became managing director. Despite the end of the immortal Bassett- Lowke shops in the 1960’s and the virtual demise of model train production in the early 1970’s such was the company’s reputation that its industrial model business and exhibition ship model production was still very much in demand and Roland Fuller advised the company virtually until the end of his life. Fortunately Roland Fuller’s recollections were recorded in great detail but sadly he died shortly after completion of the manuscript aged on 17 January 1981. (MP)
