Suddenly, Last Summer...

4mm/P4
...a steady project for Chris Pendlenton rapidly gained new impetus and, as a result, he's still busy preparing for the MRJ Exhibition. Nevertheless he's bowed to even more pressure to give a flavour of the scene he is portraying in this remarkable P4 project. How he did it will be explained later, but for the moment we join him on a nostalgic visit to North shields - a layout which attempts to recreate the North Eastern childhood of an exile.

No.1 Shop: High Efficiency Worm Drives
p.591
4mm
Now in his 70th year, Sid Stubbs is - as indicated by the letters M.I.Mech.E after his name - a highly-qualified engineer as well as being a well-known and long-standing modeller of great repute, particularly in the Manchester area where he lives. Over an extraordinarily long modelling career, he has helped a large number of less-skilled modellers achieve good results, and here, using school-level maths and plain language, he explains the secrets of his own make of high-efficiency worm-driven gearboxes.

Inkerman Street - Aspinall L&Y 2-4-2T
p.603
7mm
Geoff Holt never looks at anything that isn't LNWR and never, ever touches kits - he'd rather risk his neck as an Inkerman Street shopkeeper than swerve from the true path. So what went wrong?
