Rye Town
p.242
4mm/P4
Remote from likely sources of traffic, winding its way through the middle of nowhere, the Kent & East Sussex had and has an appeal all of its own. Stephen Hannington brilliantly captures the feel of a railway that, by the late 1920s, was down-at-heel, run on a shoestring and yet plainly loved by its employees.

Canada Road
p.275
4mm/EM
The whole place, we imagine, has long since been bull-dozed to make way for a chic marina or heritage centre. But the dockside setting of this compact EM layout by Peter Johnson recalls the workaday sediness of the immediate post-steam period. Weed-strewn and quietly rusting into oblivion, Canada Road is a gentle masterpiece of observation, mirroring the dying embers of one era and the uneasy birth of another.
