Editorial
Inspiration is all around us and Hornby Magazine has won an award!
Sutton
The East Bedfordshire Model Railway Society’s latest layout is based on a realistic, but imaginary scenario on the Eastern Region, built to ‘OO’ finescale standards.
Update
All the latest news, including Dapol’s forthcoming Class 22, and Kernow Model Centre’s NBL ‘Warship’. Plus Ixion Model Railways reveals its first ready-to-run ‘N’ gauge locomotive, a preview to the 40th anniversary Bristol Model Railway Exhibition and your chance to enter our latest competition.
Modelling locomotive sheds
Locomotive sheds came in all shapes and sizes and make fascinating features on a layout, or as a layout in their own right. Anthony New looks at the variety and operation of these crucial facilities, and presents plans you could use on your layout.
Off the shelf modelling
Evan Green-Hughes takes a look at the ever-popular box vans, their many variations, and what ready-to-run models are currently available in ‘OO’ scale.
British Railways 1957-1966
The 1955 modernisation plan changed the face of Britain’s railways forever. Evan Green-Hughes examines the effect it had, and why the so-called ‘transition era’ between steam and diesel traction is so popular with modellers.
Plain sailing
The humble windmill is one of the most evocative and atmospheric sights of the countryside. Michael C Shaw looks at their history, and explains how and where they can be modelled.
Hornby Post
Readers supply ‘West Country’ explanations, and more road vehicles information.
Towards more realism
In the first of a new series, long-standing modeller Harvery Godber shows how to make corridor connections for coaches simply using sheets of paper.
Wiveliscombe
This atmospheric Western Region layout came about after a chance meeting in the 1980s. Tony Hiscock reveals its history, and how household materials were used to create it.
Creating scenes with Scalescenes
Mike Wild showcases HM’s latest project – a small layout built with simple and cost effective methods and the free kits supplied in Hornby Magazine.
Basic Electrics
Ian Morton shows how to mount a variety of point motors to the track, simply and unobtrusively.
FEATURES
So you want to build a model railway?
Model railways are a wonderful pastime. They can take us back to a time of fond memories or allow us to follow our imagination. For the new modeller, with a blank canvas and the simple desire to build a working model railway it can be a minefield of choice. Should you start afresh with digital control, should you build a branch line or a main line and, perhaps most importantly, where will the layout be housed?...
