What's in this Issue?
What do you bring back from your summer holiday? Andy Christie came back with the inspiration for his garden line – The Olive Branch Tramway. The 45m gauge railway now basks in his Midlands garden, looking stunning, and appreciated by his friends.
With summer upon us, we also take a trip to Bekonscot to enjoy their huge Gauge 1 railway, which runs among the amazing miniature buildings. Just the place for a day out with the family.
In the rest of the magazine:
- We look at the history of Roundhouses Pooter locomotive
- Build the FR's horse transport, and some coal wagons
- Make 7/8th scale figures
- Start the construction of an electric steam railmotor
- Create remarkable buildings
There's also a tiny, but very satisfying layout from the USA, and all the latest Product News.
