p.99
7mm
As Bob Essery progresses with his much talked about Dewsbury layout - an accurate depiction of the Midland Railway in 1907 - he takes the opportunity to discuss the frustrations and anomalies facing those modellers who, like him, want their trackwork to be authentic - and the strokes of luck which set him on the right path.
