Review 140

Issue 140 - Published October 2024

This issue features some of the unusual oddities of the narrow gauge and industrial world, including the remarkable but little known C W Hunt system which adopted outside flanged wheels by design. We also include railcars, traction engine based locos and a model of the first SG diesel shunter in Britain. Less unusual is some classic German Feldbahnen and of course the usual product reviews and readers letters.
