    On show at Scaleforum, the Mid-Sussex 18.83 Group's layout is a rare portrayal of 'the Brighton' and an even rarer example of a prototype modelled without compression or compromise - which probably explains why it took seven years to build and is over 40ft long! Terry Bendall, on behalf of the Group, explains.

    7mm/S7

    A simple enquiry about locomotive livery ended up with Chris Perry producing a goods shed for Bob Essery's ScaleSeven layout 'Dewsbury'. All very well, but Chris lives in new Zealand! Undaunted, he built it as a one-off kit and shipped it over in pieces; that's when Graham Rayner took over. Now it is finished and living somewhere in the West Midlands, but we start our story in the Antipodes with Chris's account.

    Ray Hammond

    p.227

    Ray Hammond's 4mm layout completed 100 days of public exhibition during the 1990 Scaleforum - not bad for an experimental model built as a stopgap more than 17 years ago! What it proved, and continues to prove to this day, is that 'pure' Scalefour standards, requiring the scaling down of the prototype without compromise, are a feasible and long-lasting basis on which to build a model railway.
