Description

Trevor Pott describes how he built and detailed the Southward Bridge (now Roxey Mouldings) etched tradesman's bicycle kit. BR / British Railways / British Rail, diesel locomotives, RTR / kit conversions, RTR / ready-to-run, wheels Beth Evans, keeper of the all-important Scalefour Stores, discusses the growth of the society's trading armand the occasional problems of modellers confronted by a woman who really knows her stuff. The 'we', incidentally, refers to Beth and her husband Clive, who happens to be the society Chairman.

Geoff Dowling models something no cityscape can do without and looks at some splendid examples of the genre, crying out for the etchers attention. Advertisement for the Scalefour Society's annual exhibition, with details, brief descriptions and photos of layouts. Bob How's King's Cross in P4 featured in MRJ 195. Here is a glimpse of the junction which feeds into Gasworks Tunnel.Plenty of wagons ran load-less for part of their working life. Martyn Welch builds a wagon with working doors - a versatile model suitable for a part-loaded yard cameo. auto-coaches / auto-trailers, coaches, drawings / plans, GWR / Great Western Railway, prototype, RTR / kit conversions, RTR / ready-to-run Monty Wells built a challenging kit for a Class 40 and foretold of a day when diesel modelling would be the fastest growing area of finescale modelling, whilst Geoff Williams allowed the new publication a fully illustrated feature on his magnificent recreation of Aylesbury LNWR. The first version of this seminal model railway had appeared in "Model Railway News" many years before.

In 7mm scale where the detail counts, it's specially rewarding. Otherwise, for me the main regular must-have mag is "Railway Modeller", I get it every month and it's the only modelling mag that I keep too--something I grew up with many moons ago when my mum used to buy it for me ('as a treat') from Smith's in Hertford Street in Cov in the '70s! RM's production values are always top, and that's something I value in a mag.In the event Model Railway Journal (by now often referred to just by its intials MRJ) proved a huge success, its second year's volume ran to six issues and by the spring of 1987 when issue 13 arrived it was planned that eight issues would be produced each year.

As Part of Trevor Hughes' ambitious project to build a 1/32 scale model of Tywyn (Towyn as it was called in the period modelled) Pendre, Peter Kazer somehow volunteered or was coerced into building the two timber buildings which existed in about 1905 From the following issue and Tim's accession to the editorship, the style of MRJ changed to that shown on the right. Chris Leigh – Scottish station nameboards in 4mm.Graham Farish – BR Mk4 DVT.P & D Marsh – New owners and road cones.Gateneal Ltd. – Agents for Sagami motors.DJH – 7mm BR Standard Class 2.MJT – Working BR gangway.Roundfield Engineering – 7mm ex-NER 10T dropside wagon.Ratio – 7mm GWR signal.Model Signal Engineering – 7mm ex-SR signal and lever frame.Richard de Camin – Peco 7mm GWR van conversion. Peter Totman looks at BR-built 16-ton mineral wagons and ways of representing them in 4mm scale, using inexpensive, good-quality plastic kits.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: High Level Kits chassis and gearbox kits, Classix 4mm diecast road vehicles, C-RAIL INTERMODAL 4mm transfers, Brassmasters kits, Formil Model Engineering large scale locomotive care and maintenance guide, Judith Edge kits Someone somewhere may have drawn up rules about the siting and operation of coal pens but evidence suggests that local arrangements prevailed. You can find a 'prototype for everything', as this small selection from Paul Karau suggests. The near-universal adoption of computers and CAD technology has opened up exciting possibilities for model-makers seeking an easier, more accurate way of producing items as diverse as locomotive valve gear and lineside fencing. Gordon Gravett - creator of the award-winning Pempoul - gives some valuable pointers on preparing DIY artwork for photo-etching, a technique that's now available to everyone, home builders included. First however, he describes how it's done the traditional way... In the third part of his widely acclaimed series, Chris Crofts, having discussed the anatomy of common private owner wagons at length, gets down to modelling them in 4mm. Here he describes his own perfectionist methods for building and painting bodywork.

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. Aimed at the "serious" modeller, but promising not to take itself too seriously, the magazine set out to provide a forum for those modellers who wished to progress beyond what was on offer from the ready to run manufacturers, whilst also providing a good read for interested observers. The instigators drew upon the experiences and models of a small group of "up and coming" modellers of the time, Monty Wells, Barry Norman and Iain Rice to name but three, in addition to revisiting the work of some of the hobby's "past masters". The life and works of a Scalefour Society Area Group - Cambridge area in this case - by Geraint Hughes. detailing, drawings / plans, GWR / Great Western Railway, No. 1 Shop, RTR / kit conversions, RTR / ready-to-run, steam locomotives Returning to MRJ, John Dornom had found a new way to add real "atmosphere" to his models using a disco fog producing machine and after a brief introduction in MRJ 92 he provided a full article on his extraordinary experiments in Issue 97 as illustrated on its cover.A very good searchable index to MRJ is available here, created by Matt Otts it will open in a new window.
