Models
There have been several commercial models of the Blue Pullman, of varying dimensional accuracy.
The Kitmaster company produced an unpowered polystyrene injection moulded model kit at 00 scale. In late 1962, the Kitmaster brand was sold by Rosebud Dolls to Airfix and it is thought the tools were destroyed in a fire, so no further kits were produced. Triang produced ready-to-run models of the power cars and one type of parlour car, all of which had dimensional compromises. In May 2010, Olivia trains of Sheffield announced its intention to produce a R-T-R model in association with Heljan models of Denmark. On Bachmann's announcement that it would be producing a model, the project was cancelled.
In July 2010 Bachmann announced two versions of the Midland Pullman set.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
