This is the 1st issue of the year for 2024 (our 38th year of publication). As usual I have to thank those people who have kindly allowed us to reproduce their articles and photos this issue, in particular the following - Peter Malone, Garry Shepherdson, Ken Watson via Ed Russell (Red Roo), Ley Reynolds, Andrew Wetzlich, Roger Lambert, Gary Wickham, Ian Purssey via Dave Muir, Owen Lambert, Mick Mirkovic & the AHMWA. Don't forget that all photos and information credited to these individuals are subject to copyright and cannot be reproduced without their written permission. I also am grateful to Ley Reynolds for the review material.

This issue has more of Gary Wickham's excellent modelling and review articles from his 'Scalespot' website. Highly recommended to go to his site at www.Scalespot.com to see the latest. For Gary's articles use the 'back' button to get back to the index page.

All and any contributions to this publication are always welcomed, so send any material to the editorial address (P.O Box and email listed at the end of this page), or hand it to me at club meetings. This especially applies with two of our long running series (Dave Muir's car images and Bruce Chapman's page) having concluded in this and the last issue. So additional articles would be very welcome.
