Why waste time compensating wagons when you can waste time trying to avoid it? Dave Reynolds shows you how. Touching on the more sombre events that were in everyones minds at the time, Martyn Welch's editorial was a typically thoughtful and reflective piece of writing Bob Essery and Don Field on wagon suspension for the 7mm/ScaleSeven Dewsbury project, using the recently-developed Slater's system. Floorboards, battens, beams, branches and boles - indeed timber of every description once rode the rails. Stephen Duffell, a qualified pathologist, examines the use of microscope cover slips for glazing coaches.

While Bob Hetherington was getting on with constructing his P4 layout, he decided to make himself a small coal depot, but ended up with something a little larger. This is what Gerry Beale himself said some years later on the subject whilst recalling the late Bernard Wright in a discussion on the "most inspirational people in model railways" on RMweb in April of 2008: The Preview Issue, pictured at right, contained an enticing mix of subjects. A relative newcomer to modelling, John Watson, described his very appealing P4 model of Laxfield on the Mid Suffolk Light Railway, whilst the irrepressible Iain Rice described the construction of a "be-rivetted drudge" for his fictional "East Suffolk Light Railway".

Captain William Francis Peek Kelly was well-bred, wealthy and a friend of some of the most famous names in the development of our hobby. His closest associate was G. P. Keen, one of the leading lights in the Model Railway Club. Yet compared to Keen, whose name is chiselled into the history of the hobby, the secretive Kelly barely made a footnote. Michael Shaw has found out more about an extraordinary man.

He says 'Modellers who have limited patience should probably give this approach a miss, but for those of you who enjoy a challenge and have infinite patience then this approach may be the solution you are looking for.'
