A brilliant mag this month, as it is every month-I will pay paticular attention to the ballasting tips for my N-Gauge layout, so it doesn't looks as bad as my 00-Gauge layout. There is one small thing I disagree with-in the editorial. It is stated that the desinger we steam fans owe most to is George Stephenson-not for me. The man we should hail as the greatest steam locomotive desinger of all time is Richard Trevithick.
Think about it-if it hadn't been for his road steam loco in 1801, and his first railway locomotive in 1804, Stephenson wouldn't have built engines like The Rocket, and we'd have NO passenger railways, no brilliant designs like the Saints, the Black 5's, the Castles, and the A4s-in fact, we'd have nothing.
Plus, HE WAS CORNISH! WOO!
