Just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to read the article by Tony Wright on David Jenkinson in the latest edition of the BRM magazine.
Those of us of a certain age would remember the name very well. My very first attempt at scratchbuiding was two twelve wheel LMS sleeping cars following construction tecniques he described in a series of articles in the Railway Modeller magazine in the late sixties. At one point the series stopped and he wrote articles later explaining that he`d changed to 7mm.
With todays productions of coaching stock being as good as it is , scratch building has probably diminished somewhat, plus the model shops like Eames at Reading and my local, Cove models, who used to sell great numbers of bits and pieces for the scratch builder, are no more.
Reading those articles in the sixties certainly fired my enjoyment in the hobby and it was great to see David Jenkinsons name mentioned again after all this time.

Jim.
