An O Gauge Convert Confesses
Issue 1 (1985)
p.3
7mm/0
Author, enthusiast and modeller par excellence Bob Essery explains how, with the passage of time, his modelling interests have grown upwards in size and backwards in time.
Bob charts the development of his modelling 'career' from 00, through EM, to P4 (and the construction of 'Heckmondwike') to his 'conversion' to O gauge, his preference for the pre-grouping era and his initial plans for a 7mm model based around Dewsbury.

Developments in 7mm Trackwork
Issue 22 (1988)
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. Many of the principles expounded here apply to all scales and gauges while the prototype information is of enormous value.

Ken York
Issue 20 (1988)
p.34
Ken York, P4 pioneer, Scalefour Society founder member, Scaleforum manager, the power behind 'Heckmondwike' and 'Bodmin', died in October last year at the age of 42. He took his own life for reasons that can only be guessed at. What is known, however, is that his uncompromising modelling ideals and great personal drive combined to make him an unstoppable force for the good of finescale modelling as a whole and 4mm scale in particular. The sum of his achievements add up to far more than a list of layouts, society posts and Scaleforum dates - it spawned, rather, an attitude, an idea that the pursuit of perfection might be an enjoyable and respectable thing to do in an age when standards in all things were generally seen to be in decline. It is an ethic which lives and grows in finescale modelling to this day. Here, some of Ken's friends remember the 'tough cookie' policeman who carried the P4 banner.
