No. 1 Shop: Split Frames - the way forward
p.329
4mm/P4
Barry Luck, a member of the non-aligned Mid-Sussex 18.83 Group, found a way out of what he calls the Dark Ages by turning to split-chassis construction for his 4mm locomotives. Here, he passes on some techniques, dispels a few myths and, for good measure, adds a few notes on the difference that machine tools have made to his modelling.

4mm/NG
We spotted Francis Samish's 4mm Bagnall making a brief 'guest appearance' at the 1987 IMREX exhibition and immediately had it noted as one of the nicest examples of industrial narrow gauge we had seen for some time. Francis was persuaded that some biographical details were in order - and here they are.
