An Advanced 4mm Jubilee

Allan Sibley builds a kit with everything - and a bit more, such as duplicate parts in 'scale' and 'robust' varieties. It took 170 hours, but the result is impressive.

Maidstone Road
p.90
4mm/EM
Incurably infected with the Light Railway bug, Les Darbyshire has spent over 30 years bringing an imaginary corner of Colonel Stephens' quaint empire to miniature life in 4mm/EM. The layout, now in its third incarnation, has long been an exhibition favourite and appears at IMREX with many original features intact - including a 36 year-old locomotive!
Based on a hybrid of Rolvenden and Tenterden on the Kent & East Sussex Railway.

Now he's working on a complete 7mm resin-cast coach - and even selling his own product line far and wide. Although there are no fortunes to be made, the medium offers much to modellers, especially if they avoid the pitfalls.
