Review 138

Issue 138 - Published April 2024

This issue starts with a focus on 2ft gauge heavy metal including the extraordinarily powerful J&L Steelworks 0-4-0 Porters designed to haul ingot wagons. We lighten the mix with some small industrial locos. We also have an update on Boston Lodge 1886 4mm scale grand plan and include an article on industrial building painting techniques, plus the usual jottings, book reviews and readers' letters.
