RAILWAY OF THE MONTH
SEHR-AM-ÜZANT
Within a limited space Alan Jockmans has created a scenic masterpiece in HOe, based on his own sketches of an idyllic but completely imaginary remote village only recently connected to the wider world by rail.
PLAN OF THE MONTH
LA GOUDRON-CALANDRE
David Thomas presents his French HO layout, a typical secondaire which has remained open into the 1950s to serve local agricultural interests.
FEATURES
BRICKWORK
Emmanuel Nouaillier demonstrates more of his techniques for intricately detailed structure modelling, showing how to simulate the texture of weathered bricks.
TIRANO – PIAZZA DELLA BASILICA
Paul Jobber describes his new micro layout in N which reproduces a famous feature of the Rhätische Bahn – street running nearing the terminus in Italy.
ARRANSTEIN
From shunting puzzle to full layout – Paul Peeters explains how his compact N gauge shunting game evolved into to a full layout of three linked scenes.
CESKY ZAPAD
On a Czech secondary single track line in the 1990s – Neil Sutton describes his other layout, quite a contrast in subject and style. It is due to be at Model Rail Scotland.
A MALLET TRANSFORMED
Warren Miller shows how he made major modifications to an old brass HO model of American outline to make it more appropriate for a French layout.
FILLING UP 1917
Kevin Harlow explains how he created a novel entry in O-16.5 for the Peco RAIL 200 module competition, inspired by historic photos from the First World War.
