A Fire-Salvaged Dream
p.42
4mm/EM
After many years under construction, Kingstorre, a substantial EM gauge project, suffered serious fire damage. In the face of such devastation lesser mortals would give up, but not Robert Dudley-Cooke - he just sorted it out and carried on.
Large Pendon-inspired GWR layout based on the South Devon main line in 1947.

'Old Ratty'
p.61
When Peter Kazer turns his attention to one of his narrow gauge interests, you can be assured of some impressive modelling. This time he is tackling the old 3ft gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway which closed in 1913 when iron ore traffic failed. Photographs showing the lonely line crossing the remote landscape of West Cumberland are deeply enticing but it takes courage to attempt to capture its magic. We can't wait to see the result, but in the meantime we proudly bring you a preview of some of Peter's beautifully made stock. This is narrow gauge modelling at its best.
