    This celebrated slice of North Yorkshire - felt by many to be the finest P4 layout ever built - has been featured several times in the MRJ. It's now undergone a further metamorphosis, as visitors to Scaleforum 2004 will see for themselves. Bramblewick's builder, Tom Harland, talks us through a typical morning's operation at this quiet country station.

    This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first public showings of the early Pendon models - a few buildings, four locos, two wagons and a coach, all displayed in a youth hostel. Today, housed in its purpose-built two-storey structure, the museum has developed into an internationally renowned organisation. Jeff Askew reports on recent progress.
