In the December edition of Railway Modeller, we announce the winners and runners-up in the Peco RAIL200 Model Layout Competition, which celebrated this year's 200th anniversary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, and set participants the challenge of building a layout or diorama in a space of just 750mm x 305mm. The winning and runner-up layouts, together with other selected finalists, are featured in this issue and will be on display at the National Exhibition Centre for the National Festival of Railway Modelling on 22 & 23 November. Other features include the Diamond Jubilee of the London & North Eastern Railway Society, and the story of how a group of modellers re-created the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway station of Sturminster Newton for display in that town's museum.
