Richard, If you look in some 1950s mags you will probably find ads for these. Pretty much what Ratio started with, wooden kits for coaches similar to the CCW range of similar vintage. What more info do you want? Keith Richard Spencer wrote:

----- from Nigel Brown ----- The Webster bit is Roger Webster, who ran Ratio, until he sold the business to Peco. He was also the Webster of the 7mm scale GWR wagons which were taken over by Peco at a somewhat earlier date. In its early years Ratio also produced wooden goods wagons and buildings, again nicely done for the times.
