MV Cranborne

[Jeremy Lewis 1Participant @jeremylewis1]

I have a beautifully built (brass) model of MV Cranborne, built by
an expert modeller, Mr David Robertson of Corby. Does anyone recognise
this name? I understand that he made excellent traction engines etc.

Hi Jeremy

Sorry I cant tell you anything about the prototype vessel, but I do remember the series “Modeling the Cranbourne” described in the Model Engineer around 1962/3.

However I am sure far more knowlegeable folks on this site will give you more detail than I can.
