Box Construction
p.136
4mm
Modelling modern structures to the highest standards calls for as much skilled technique and attention to detail as any Pendon essay in card, cat's whiskers and watercolour. With his customary engineering finesse, Tony Sissons builds an exquisite 4mm scale model of an ultra-functional signal box that's a great deal more than just a pair or containers on stilts.

Mike Gilgannon - P4 pioneer
p.141
He was a huge inspiration to Chris Pendlenton, Don Rowland and others. He was one of the first modellers in the country to work to P4 standards, and built a pre-Grouping, West Coast main line layout that eventually occupied three rooms in his Glasgow home. Jim Summers looks back over the achievements of Mike Gilgannon, a quiet and unassuming man who - for almost 40 years - occupied a very special place in the pantheon of finescale modellers.
