Review 133

Issue 133 - Published Jan 2023

We lead this issue with first of a series on David John’s Dinas Manod - the next station on his 7mm scale imagined extension to the Festiniog Railway. David’s layouts are very much part of an imagined world and, coupled with his use of topography, imbues a real sense of life into his models. We also feature research and scale drawings of the FR Brine Waggon, historical photos of the Purbeck clay railways, a fine 009 model built from a 3D print, drawings on the Bagnall Pampero class, some CAD modelling and 3D printing used to enhance a kit locomotive, a fine 9mm scale model of a NZ Fairlie, a discussion about power pickups and some archive material and a personal reflection on the life of Iain Rice from David John. Finally we also include the usual  product and book reviews, jottings and readers letters.
