John Elliott continues the story from MRJ 272
John Elliott's Bradfield Gloucester Square made quite an impact when it appeared in the pages of MRJ issues 216 to 218. Here was a layout based on authentic operation and it developed quite a following both on-line and through its all too brief exhibition appearances. However, the follow-on is Leeds City Wellington which now forms a permanent layout being developed at John's home.

When we first saw the work of Richard Ellis we were bowled over. The meticulous composition, attention to detail and exquisite use of colour and texture are sublime, resulting in a model dripping in atmosphere. Richard has discussed the construction of various aspects of the model already in the pages of MRJ and will hopefully contribute further in the future.
Here he looks at the inspiration behind his award-winning model and the journey upon which it has taken him.

Slow Modelling - an alternative way forward
p.276
Maurice Hopper considers some alternative views of railway modelling. Starting from the belief that human beings have a need to make things, he suggests the tendency to commission components for our modelling production is contrary to the benefits if being mindfully engaged in the process of making a model.
As one who has been 'playing' with model trains on and off for 65 years, he reviews his modelling activities with some criteria not often found in modelling circles.
