More info

The striking cover of this month's Railway Modeller depicts the new LNER Azuma high-speed passenger train, released in OO gauge in the Hornby RailRoad range and reviewed inside.
 
Other new models reviewed in this issue include:
  • the Great Western Railway Saint 4-6-0 and Bulleid Tavern Cars, also in OO from Hornby;
  • Isle of Wight coaches in OO from EFE Rail;
  • the Andrew Barclay fireless locomotive in OO from Rapido Trains UK;
  • the Class 117 Diesel Multiple Unit and Class 121 railcar in O gauge from Heljan;
  • and PHA/JGA hopper wagons in OO from Cavalex.
 
Railway of the Month is Keighley Northern, an OO gauge layout portraying a fictional London & North Eastern Railway main line network in the West Riding of Yorkshire and set in 1937. Other layouts featured include:
  • Eyemouth, a branch line terminus in Berwickshire modelled in N gauge;
  • Kyle of Macallan MPD, a diesel-era shed scene in EM gauge in a space of just 44in x 17in;
  • and Birkenhead Priory, an extensive OO gauge model depicting the railways of the Wirral in the BR steam era. 
 
Constructional articles include:
  • the adaptation of Parkside/Peco OO gauge coach kits to make OO9 narrow gauge stock;
  • working remote control road vehicles for the OO gauge layout Bournemouth West;
  • scratch-building a Class 158 DMU in O gauge from parts produced around the world;
  • and the use of mirrors to give the illusion of greater scenic depth on a layout.
 
We also bring you all the latest news from the model railway world, including the winner of the 2025 Railway Modeller Cup Competition and the spring product announcements from Bachmann.
