Brooklin Models began in the small rural town of Brooklin, located 35 miles northeast of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, created by John Hall, a design engineer at the University of Toronto.
The earliest models cast in white metal did not have windows in clear plastic, no rear windows at all, and their tyres were made of white rubber. However, by 1977, the models were improved, complete with details of windshield wipers, clear plastic windows, and licence plates.
In 1979, John and Jenny Hall returned to England, setting up in Bath, Somerset. The models are hand-crafted from original plans and patterns and are individually painted in authentic colours with chromed brightwork, white wall tyres where applicable and simulated glass windows." Hall sold Brooklin Models in 1998 to a group of employees (including Nigel Parker) and retired to Australia.
Under new ownership again, Brooklin acquired SMTS in 2020, another historic white metal model manufacturer based in Hastings. After that, Simon Elford became Director at both Brooklin and SMTS.
In 2022, the factory moved to a new facility at Old Mills, Paulton, Bristol, just down the road from Bath. Brooklin Models then moved again part of its production to Hastings, where its sister company SMTS resides. Brooklin also has a small headquarters office / workshop near Bath.
