p.42
4mm
GWR jigsaw puzzles are collectors' pieces these days, but they were never quite like this. Monty Wells, having examined the prototype in the last MRJ, invites you to take three 4mm models of the AEC Railcar, chop them up and re-assemble them into a two-car DMU. Take as long as you like, starting... now.

G.E.R. Stations - The '1865' Style
p.69
2mm
Even though it did not cover the entire company territory, the GER's innovative station building system was so successful that it came to be regarded as that railway's 'typical' face. This is good news for modelling devotees of the eastern counties, as Dave Holland demonstrates.
Extensive prototype information about the GER's 'standard' '1865' station building style with drawings and photographs. Also, Dave Holland builds a model of Rayne station in 2mm scale.
