Narrow Gauge & Industrial Railway Modelling Review - 142

Bu sayıda

This issue has a strong focus on Devon & Cornwall - an area with exceptional mineral wealth and consequently a lot of narrow gauge and industrial interest. We lead with a remarkable multi-gauge layout based on the old Torrington & Marland Clay Works, built by the Launceston & District MRC. Your editor saw it as a work in progress last year at the EXE Model Railway Society show and it was a real pleasure to see it finished recently. If you get the chance please visit this year's show in Exeter in June to see it.
We also feature articles on the Kelly Mine - a remarkable preserved Devon Iron mine; the East Cornwall Mineral Railway Neilson locomotives; and an 'historic' letter about a visit to old Cornish china clay line. Your editor gives a brief update on his long term Pentewan Light Railway project. The mystery around the crane model featured in issue 141 has now been solved. John Elliot is now in touch and outlines his lifetime project ambitions in this issue - there will be plenty more to come in future issues.
Lastly, but certainly not least, we conclude the remarkable story of Mr Charles Hunt's Innovative Railways so comprehensively covered by Marty Johnston.
