7mm
You've got to admire the get-up-and-go spirit of the Hillingdon Railway Modellers. Wanting a 7mm scale model of the familiar Austerity 2-8-0, but finding nothing available that met their standards, they elected to design, manufacture and market their own finescale kit under the Snowhill Models marque. Jim Snowdon tells the story of how they got there.
