Creative Master Northcord Ltd (CMNL)

Announced in November 2000, this new company is a joint venture between CML (Creative Master Limited - the major factory in China involved in model bus manufacture) and Northcord Transport, up to then famous for their range of Hong Kong transport books. The company ceased trading in late 2011 due to business difficulties. In October 2012, the Northcord Model Company was formed, having acquired many of the assets of the former company.
