Issue 141 has gone to the printers for distribution at the end of the month.  In this issue we continue with Part 2 of Marty Johnston’s superb series on the unique outside flange Charles Hunt Railway system. This part covers the locomotives and rolling stock and is supported by no less than 11 scale drawings by Stuart Baker. We also have an article and scale drawing by Stuart on the Campbeltown & Macrihanish locomotive Chevalier, loco and construction articles by Giles Favell and Paul Holmes, a rolling stock kit adaptation article by Nick Brown and finally Sydney Leleux shares some memories of early standard gauge industrial Kerr Stuart diesels, plus of course the usual product & book reviews and readers letters.

Issue 140 has gone to the printers for distribution at the end of the month.  This issue features some of the unusual oddities of the narrow gauge and industrial world, including the remarkable but little known C W Hunt system which adopted outside flanged wheels by design. We also include railcars, traction engine based locos and a model of the first SG diesel shunter in Britain. Less unusual is some classic German Feldbahnen and of course the usual product reviews and readers letters. Contents:

Review 139?has gone to the printers for distribution at the end of the month.  This issue is a Corris Railway Special. We lead with original research which shines new light on the history of the early Corris Tramroad. We also have an original 1890 specification for the Corris Railway Third-Class Falcon Carriage No.12 with original drawing. We include more Corris inspired modelling in oo9, 7mm, 1:48 and 1:32 scales. To lighten the mix we have Tom Mallard’s completed 7mm scale masterworks of the L&B locos and some archive material from the Arthur Koppel catalogue. We also include news of the forthcoming RTR Corris Loco N.3 in 7mm scale and a review of the Bachmann RTR NG7 Quarry Hunslet, plus the usual jottings and book reviews.

Review 138?has gone to the printers for distribution at the end of the month.? This issue starts with a focus on 2ft gauge heavy metal including the extraordinarily powerful J&L Steelworks 0-4-0 Porters designed to haul ingot wagons. We lighten the mix with some small industrial locos. We also have an update on Boston Lodge 1886 4mm scale grand plan and include an article on industrial building painting techniques, plus the usual jottings, book reviews and readers' letters.

Review issue 137 has gone to the printers for distribution at the end of the month.? This issue has our usual mix of articles and scale drawings?on prototype and model subjects covering the interesting highways and byways of the industrial and narrow gauge scene, as well as techniques, and the usual jottings, product and book reviews and readers' letters.

Issue 136 has gone to the printers for distribution at the end of the month. This issue has a large focus on construction with a range of articles describing various approaches ranging from the latest digital production techniques, through more traditional techniques, and a large scale approach that mirrors the prototype construction techniques of old. We also have prototype features with scale drawings, plus the usual jottings, product and book reviews and readers' letters.

Review issue 135 should be arriving with UK subscribers next week. It may take a little longer to reach overseas subscribers.
We lead this issue with a superb model of a Swedish station building in 1:45 scale with fine detail that includes inside furniture, wallpaper and lighting. On the practical side Tim Shackleton gives us an insight into quick-fix trees and Giles Favell provides a solution to quartering outside cranks. Regular contributor Stuart Baker has drawn an unusual small Bagnall built for Uruguay. We also include historical photos of the Chattenden & Upnor Railway from regular contributor Sydney Leleux and a study into ‘poor track’ so often found on industrial systems. We also have further track studies on 'Mainline' NG systems and multi-gauge museum systems.

We have just sent Review issue 134 off to the printer for distribution later this month. We lead this issue with a masterpiece of industrial modelling. The railway (which is standard gauge) and the street scene are impressive enough in their own right, however these are completely dominated by the steelworks. It features an extraordinarily and fanatical attention to detail which most of us would struggle to emulate – all based on real life exploration. For those liking our more ‘traditional’ subjects we continue the story of Dinas Manod with details on the station, accompanied by drawings of Tanygsiau station upon which David's model is based. We also have an article on CAD modelling the Tallylyn Corris Van in 7mm scale, and we explore the various approaches for emptying side-tipping NG wagons with previously unpublished prototype photos from the 1960s. Our regular?contributor?Stuart L Baker has drawn and described?the Manchester Ship Canal side-tipping wagon which became almost a ‘standard’ design for both standard and narrower gauges. We conclude with a description of a simple buzzing circuit tester tool, an obituary on Brian Love, plus the usual jottings, product and book reviews and readers' letters. |
开云体育Looks to be another excellent issue.? It will be great to see the story of Dinas Manod.? I was privileged to see the initial model and then the stripped down version but I know David has been adding a lot more to it. ? Well done John and the production team. ? Cheers, ? Robin ?

I have just sent Review issue 133 off to the printer for distribution later this month. We lead this issue with the first of a series on David John’s Dinas Manod - the next station on his imagined extension to the Festiniog Railway. David’s layouts are very much part of an imagined world and, coupled with his use of topography (let’s face it not much of Wales is flat), imbues a real sense of life into his models. We also include an article and scale drawing on the FR Brine Waggon by Stuart L Baker. Stuart's drawings of such vehicles are often used by the FR Heritage Group so perhaps we may see a recreated waggon in due course. Further articles include: historical photos of the Purbeck clay railways, a fine 009 model built from a 3D print, scale drawings on the Bagnall Pampero class, some
CAD modelling and 3D printing used to enhance an 009 kit locomotive, a fine 9mm scale model of a NZ Fairlie, a discussion about power pickups - a common source of problems with traditional two-rail powered locomotives, some archive NG material and a personal
reflection on the life of Iain Rice, plus the usual jottings, product and book reviews and readers' letters. |

Review?132 is now at the printers for distribution at the end of this month.  This issue is an American special. We lead with a detailed study into the history of Yellow Aster Gold Mine with its unusual 18ins and 30ins railways with mixed gauge track and slewing switches. The Maine two-footers are well covered by a new drawing of the SR&RL Baldwin No.24 and an On2 layout of a proposed and part-built extension to the SR&RL. We have drawings of the ALCO War Dept 2-6-2t in as-built form and as varied in subsequent lives on two French systems. We complete the story of the British Colombian On3 mine layout as featured in REVIEWs 129-131. We also present a new HO dock switching layout project based on the Santa Fe China Basin which was only accessible by car float. Finally we show some of the USA built locos that came to Britain.

Review 131 is now at the printers ready for distribution at the end of the month.
This issue has a large focus on the Isle of Purbeck with two layouts and three drawings of prototypes. We continue the story of the Anyox mine as featured in issues 129 and 130. We also have a look at hazard markings with prototype photos and techniques and discuss the thorny issue of scales and gauges. Finally as usual we include previously unpublished prototype photos of narrow gauge and industrial subjects.?The contents are:
