🎉 On this day in 1947, Bob Pelham launched Wonky Toys Ltd, marking the beginning of a beloved era in toy history! 🌟 Known affectionately as "The Wonky Donkey Officer" from his WWII days, Bob brought joy to countless children with his simple wooden marionette puppets. 🎭

Starting with "Waloukas"—charming wooden toys held together with string—Bob soon innovated by creating marionettes for children, a delightful departure from the professional puppets of the time. By October 1948, the company rebranded as Pelham Puppets, continuing to enchant young hearts worldwide. 🧸✨

Here's to celebrating the creativity and legacy of Bob Pelham and his timeless toys. 🥳

🚂 Today marks the 52nd anniversary of the final journey of the iconic Brighton Belle, the world's first electric all-Pullman service! 🎉 🌟 Today, if you stroll past the Brighton Toy Museum, you'll be greeted by a stunning Brighton Belle mural adorning the arches on Trafalgar Street. Designed by museum founder Chris Littledale and brought to life by signwriter Terry Smith, it's a visual ode to an era of luxury travel. 🎨

Despite our efforts to enhance the area's appearance with this beautiful mural, boarded-up arches have unfortunately given it a neglected feel, attracting graffiti and detracting from its charm. But fear not! Our Trafalgar Street Regeneration project is still underway, aiming to transform these arches with ornamental glasswork, transforming it into a welcoming pedestrian gateway. 💫

Stay tuned for the launch of our Crowdfunder's second phase and join us in revitalizing this beloved gateway to Brighton's North Laine. Whether you're passionate about preserving history or simply want to be part of a meaningful transformation, we invite you to join us on this journey. Sign up for our newsletter or reach out if you'd like to get involved. Together, let's breathe new life into Trafalgar Street! ✨

Save the date: our station partner Brighton Toy and Model Museum has a special Running Day on Saturday 25 March when visitors will be able to get up close and personal to the wonderful array of toys and models.

The theme for the day is the Coronation and 'Silver King' will be among the locomotives running that day.

This particular Bassett-Lowke model is rather special, in that, although the model was in the company catalogues for some years, and is/was highly desirable, the high cost of the model combined with the fact that the LNER changed the default livery for new A4s after only perhaps a year or two, meant that very few were ever sold.

Bassett-Lowke only seems to have ever made a single batch of six of these models, and this example is the very first of the batch (number 1 of 6). This probably makes this particular model the first commercial (i.e. not special-order) gauge 0 streamliner model produced by or for Bassett-Lowke.

Fifty years ago this month the Pullman “Brighton Belle” left London for the last time. The train's final departure from Victoria station at 10:30pm signalled the end of an era of luxury train travel which was legendary among day trippers and the glitterati of post-war Britain.

On April 30th, Brighton Toy and Model will be commemorating this anniversary by running our newly restored Brighton Belle model and launching a new display of memorabilia courtesy of Anthony Ford, Curator of the Pullman Society. He remembers: “The scenes on the platform at Victoria station had been so euphoric and fervent remarked one reporter, that railway officials compared them to the end of steam on British Railways four years before in 1968.”

We are also delighted that Norman Baker, former MP for Lewes and ex Transport Minister, will be coming to Brighton Toy and Model Museum in his new role as Chair of the Sussex Downs Line, to help us celebrate!
