RMweb Gold queensquare Posted November 13, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks for posting that Paul, I'm very pleased with the way they have presented Tucking Mill. I like Dave Hall's Bury Thorn Tar Works, a lot of layout in a small space with plenty of industrial grot. Also, Paul Lindsay-Scott's kit built Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0WT, a really attractive little loco superbly finished and weathered. Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyboy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 A very inspirational read this month with some lovely layouts included. I especially like the "Railway of the Month" layout 'Tanners Hill', even so as I am building another N gauge layout within those same baseboard dimensions!

ChrisR Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Last time I was at Swanage I was talking to Geoff Neale and he showed me his wagons and their workings. Excellent work he's done on them. Wish I could aspire to his standard. He told me then that he would have an article in this month's RM. Must try and get hold of a copy.
