REVIEW 134
Posted by John Clutterbuck on
We have just sent Review issue 134 off to the printer for distribution later this month. We lead this issue with a masterpiece of industrial modelling. The railway (which is standard gauge) and the street scene are impressive enough in their own right, however these are completely dominated by the steelworks. It features an extraordinarily and fanatical attention to detail which most of us would struggle to emulate – all based on real life exploration.
For those liking our more ‘traditional’ subjects we continue the story of Dinas Manod with details on the station, accompanied by drawings of Tanygsiau station upon which David's model is based. We also have an article on CAD modelling the Tallylyn Corris Van in 7mm scale, and we explore the various approaches for emptying side-tipping NG wagons with previously unpublished prototype photos from the 1960s.
Our regular contributor Stuart L Baker has drawn and described the Manchester Ship Canal side-tipping wagon which became almost a ‘standard’ design for both standard and narrower gauges. We conclude with a description of a simple buzzing circuit tester tool, an obituary on Brian Love, plus the usual jottings, product and book reviews and readers' letters.
