  • CAVERSWALL JUNCTION (N) - Full-time tram driver and keen modeller, Carl Rutherford, found inspiration in contemporary railways for this spectacular layout.

PRACTICAL BRM
  • MAKE IT GRUBBY - Award-winning theatrical designer Giles Favell shows how to achieve impressive weathering results on any model, whether static or in motion on your layout.

  • MADE FOR DAGENHAM - Simon Bolton built a model of one of Britain’s oldest and rarest diesel electric locomotives for Luton Model Railway Club’s ‘Central Works’ layout.  
  • BUILD A WICKHAM TROLLEY - This diminutive people-carrier can add character to your layout, and is a finishing touch to last month's Wickham shed diorama.
  • ADAPT LIKE A PRO - John Cockcroft shares how detail changes and a repaint can alter the guise of any RTR model, as he transforms a Dapol 'Terrier' into an Isle of Wight stalwart.
