Happy Christmas & Welcome to the CMNL Zone

Welcome to the latest addition to my to the Model Bus Zone family of web sites, after many requests to add coverage of the ever popular and much admired Creative Master Northcord Range of models I've put together this new dedicated site. It's taken almost three months to put everything in place and this process has been vastly speeded up due to the kind assistance provided by Peter Harrison who has once again allowed me to use his comprehensive CMNL Model List to generate the model pages found on this site. You can view all his excellent Model Lists on the The Model Bus website, his lists are the result of many many hours of research and are the most comprehensive database of 1/76 scale models available on the Web. I most also thank Hattons Model Railways for allowing my to plunder their eDiecast website for the majority of the pictures found on this new site, likewise thanks are also extended to Allsorts Models & trade wholesaler & CMNL's UK Distributor John Ayrey Die-casts for similar permission to use pictures from their sites. I hope you find the contents of this site useful but if you should spot any errors or bad links please feel free to contact me and point them out so I can rectify them. Due to some changes in the layout of the site files some of the CMNL thumbnail picture pop-ups on the Fleet Focus pages may not display at present. I am aware of this problem and will be correcting theses and adding working page links for all the CMNL models listed in this section in due course. Finally I like to thank everyone who has contacted me or contributed in some way to my sites over the past 12 months, your input and reports pointing out my many gaffs are always greatly appreciated. Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Kevin Ellis www.cmnlzone.co.uk
