I hadn't heard of these until a few weeks ago, and I have nothing on them in the archive, so another "Thank you" to Jon Attwood for this submission, and consequently there's not a lot I can say about them, beyond what you see here, with your own eyes! Which is, a couple of railway modelling review articles and an example of packaging, but it gets them up, Tag-listed and box-ticked!
Jon wrote "Roger Saunders is a well known name in the model
soldier world and has a write-up in Garrett. So just a pic of the only
rail set I have been able to find so far, and a couple of reviews from
1984 & 1985 Railway Modeller magazine.", and I have found and re-read the Garrett entry (pp. 149), which points out he produced sculpts for most of the 54mm solid metal kit makers/advertisers in Military Modelling in the late 1970's/early 1980's!
And having read-up on Pendon Museum, which I was living near-to, for several years (!), I think I'd better get my arse over there as soon as I can? Cheers Jon, a couple of rabbit-holes to crawl down there!

Thanks for the write up! I'm still alive, and my own range is still in production. Hornet Models.
Hi Roger, very glad to hear of your continude existance! It was Jon Attwood who kicked things off! I have some Hornet stuff somewhere as well, probably old MM clippings, and it all needs to go on the A-Z Blogs, but I'm procrast . . . waiting to buy a house and semi-retire, so I have the time to get it done!
