This was followed by Petherick which then led to his first book \u2018Landscape Modelling\u2019 which was a best seller published by Wild Swan and more than 60 articles have appeared in Model Railway Journal. Some of these articles covered layout design and led to his second book \u2018Layout Design\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was one of the main instigators in the club branching into 0 gauge with the building of an exhibition layout, Cobbold\u2019s Wharf which is an S7 scale layout (7mm to the foot) and is based on a part of Ipswich docks as it would have appeared in the 1950\u2019s. Locomotives include both steam and diesel and the rolling stock is mostly goods wagons which reflect the docks industrial feel. The buildings are, in general, models of real structures that once existed on the docks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
