Railway Modeller No 900 - October 2025

Still Britain's most popular model railway monthly magazine with over 800 issues published since it was launched. Always at the very heart of the hobby, and justly proud of its policy to cover all the scales and gauges and topics of interest to both ready-to-run enthusiasts and kit and scratchbuilders alike.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

Railway Of The Month
Nigel Smith describes this extensive model of a British Railways steam era Motive Power Depot in 7mm scale, which has been developed over a period of 24 years by members of Warley Model Railway Club. It is set to be one of the main exhibits at the organisation's next annual show at Statfold on 11 & 12 October.

Northport Quay
Using 36.75mm gauge track to represent 5' 3

Micro Marvels
An 00 gauge layout by Dave Hall, portraying a fictional quarry line in the Peak District in the 1960s, worked by a variety of steam and diesel industrial locomotives - some with modifications to fit through a low tunnel.

Scale Drawings
John Treays provides drawings for this substantial piece of locomotive maintenance equipment, which served for many years at Wadebridge shed in Cornwall.

Plan Of The Month
Pete Latham describes this small and self-contained N gauge layout, which depicts a BR freight yard and utilises older examples of ready-to-run models. The layout plan provides the basis of an ideal entry-level project for those who are both short of space and working to a budget.

Flintfield
The story of this classic Great Eastern Railway branch terminus in P4 goes back to the late 1980s, when Dutch modeller Vincent de Bode first embarked on its construction.
