    4mm/S4

    Ten years ago, MRJ published the first ever account of Bill Richmond's extraordinary modelling odyssey in New Zealand - the re-creation of a large section of the LMS main line in 4mm scale. Bill sticks to pure, uncompromised Scalefour standards, and even back in 1988, he'd been at work on his project for some 20 years. Today - with over 30 years under his belt - the project continues, aided by a team of enthusiastic helpers from both the Antipodes and the UK. With work now starting on the construction of Euston itself, two of them - David Lord and Roger Howell - send this report.
