    Afternoon all,

    I've just acquired an OO-gauge clockwork loco based on the N2 made by the above: from what little I can gather it also seems Jan van Riemsdyk also had a connection to the NRM - can anyone elaborate further?

    There is an entry on Wikipedia about John van Riemsdik. This records that he was a curator of the Science Museum and heavily involved with setting up the NRM. He was a member of the Gauge 1 association. He wrote many articles in their magazine. The association published a book containing many of these articles which I found fascinating reading
