Demonstrations


Preparing Artwork for Laser Cutting: Tim Horn
Laser cutters are now accessible to many modellers and their use has the
potential to avoid hours of tedious and repetitive work. However, as with
any computer-controlled tool, the end result is only as good as the input
provided. Tim will demonstrate how he achieves stunning results when
modelling brick build buildings and the techniques can easily be applied to
many other types of model.

Modelling the Permanent Way: Howard Bolton
At Scalefour North last year, Howard showed how he models point rodding
and interlocking. Interest his exquisite trackwork was just as high and, by
popular demand, he has agreed to return this year and explain how he goes
about creating models of permanent way formations.

Hands-on Weathering: Tim Shackleton
Weathering models is now recognised as a distinct branch of the hobby.
However, many modellers are apprehensive at the prospect of spoiling a
factory finish. Using his extensive experience of weathering techniques, Tim
will encourage visitors to have a go with their own items of rolling stock.
Bring along one of your models and learn from a master of the art!

Rolling Stock Construction: Dave Bywater & Geoff Allen
Cleveland MRC are involved in an ambitious project to build a P4 model
of the famous Skinningrove Zig-Zag railway for the Cleveland Ironstone
Mining Museum. Dave and Geoff will demonstrate the construction of rolling
stock to be used on this model based on research into the history and
operation of the prototype.

Historic Locomotive Building: Jim Summers
As one of the Burntisland team, Jim knows a thing or two about the
modelling of historic locomotives from the 1880s. He will be sharing some of
his techniques for researching and constructing models of locomotives from
this era.

Modelling with Machine Tools: Vincent Worthington & Mick Moore
P4 modelling is often described as the preserve of model engineers in
4mm scale. Whilst this is an exaggeration, and many members are very
successful without recourse to heavy engineering, no-one can deny that using
machine tools is simply good fun! Mick and Vincent will show how they
produce useful jigs and other modelling aids using their lathe and milling
machine.

The Scalefour North 2014 showguide is now available for download. This is the usual limited-edition director's cut, including two new pages showing the hall plan, so that you don't miss any of the attractions, and more detailed information about getting to the show by road, rail or bus. All of the guide has been updated to include web links to further information about the exhibits and traders, and Google maps directions for driving from the M1 junction 41 or walking from Wakefield Westgate station.

If you are planning to arrive at one of the Wakefield stations, remember that there is a Wakefield Free City Bus (I know, in Yorkshire!) that picks up at both Kirkgate and Westgate, and sets down at the bus station. From the bus station it is a very short walk to Scalefour North, or service 110 stops even closer.

I'm also pleased to announce that RT Models will be attending Scalefour North. Unfortunately, the L&Y Society will not be able to attend.
