A Town in Miniature
A remarkable model of a Devon town and surrounding country is being made by Air E. Martindale, Ho is using only simple hand tools, and when completed, the model will be 30ft. in length. Over 50,000 parts have already gone to make up the completed sections. Railway coaches consist of 3000 separate parts, and are complete even to the views and mirrors over the seats. The wheels of a bicycle, although only the size of a penny, have 28 spokes.
