3mm/3mm FS
A successful experiment in converting an RTR locomotive to finescale standards inspired Peter Bossom to build a 3mm scale, 14.2mm gauge layout to match. Everything that can be made to work in the coarser scales, he believes, will work just as well in the finer versions. Whatever the scale, he feels the perceived problems with modelling to finer tolerances are mostly in the mind.

Static Flock Grass
p.273
The extraordinarily convincing representation of grass created by Peter Ross and his modelling colleagues in New Zealand has electrified all who have seen it - not least scenic maestro Barry Norman. Such a highly charged reaction is entirely appropriate, as it takes a current of around 20,000 volts to produce the effect.
