But what is this at the foot of the cover? An advert for Graham Farish and inside on page 11 a GF advert for a Slot Aerial Filter! Is this the same Graham Farish we know for its range of N gauge models?
Well, according to Wikipedia it is indeed the same company,
".. manufacturer of radio parts and kits entered the model railway business in the late 1940s, after the need for radio sets reduced post World War II."although the name is now owned by Bachmann.
I'd really like to know how they came to choose model railways as the new business venture, a completely different product line. What did their market research reveal at that time? Perhaps the owner was an enthusiast?
