Keyser
K’s, the model railway business of N. & K.C. Keyser Ltd., produced kits for British railway modellers. The range included locomotives and rolling stock, first in white metal and later in plastic and resin. Its first locomotive kit, a GWR 0-4-2T, appeared in 1957. Ken Keyser developed the range with his family, moving from scratch-built models and small cast components to complete kits that included wheels, motor and gears.

The story of Keyser
Keyser was founded by Bob Keyser in England during the early 196s. Besides bringing joy and delight into the world of children's toys, Keyser has left an indelible mark on the historical timeline of toy evolution. The brand began as a private entity wherein Bob Keyser's self-assembled engine models were given centre stage. Later, Keyser pioneered the concept of releasing models in kit form, which skyrocketed their popularity. Thanks to this innovative approach, Keyser carved a niche for itself in the world of model train manufacturing. The brand took a temporary break in 198. However, it was acquired by another firm which continues to produce these magical models under the Keyser brand name.
