RAILWAY MODELLER August 2026 Vol.77 No.910
With a fine summer now upon us, it's time for our annual garden railway feature in Railway of the Month: this year we revisit the Daws Heath Garden Railway, an extensive OO gauge system which previously appeared in the magazine over a quarter of a century ago – in the May 1999 issue – and, remarkably, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Continuing the outdoor railway theme, Bob Hordern shows how he constructed a new, demountable outdoor section to extend his garage-based, U-shaped O gauge layout into a continuous run – weather permitting!
Other layouts featured include Totnes – a spectacular N gauge Great Western Railway main line, which will be making its final public appearance at the Railwells exhibition on 8 & 9 August; the 3mm scale model built by famous artist David Shepherd, part of which is now on display at the East Somerset Railway which he founded; and Nant Gwernol, an OO9 tribute to the Talyllyn Railway, the pioneering line that celebrates 75 years of preservation this year. We also reintroduce our 'Junior Modeller' section with one of the finalists in the 2025 Peco RAIL200 Model Layout Competition, built by 13-year-old Harry Symonds.
Modelling articles include the construction of a Furness Railway 10-ton brake van in OO gauge by Ian Nuttall, a Hull & Barnsley Railway H1 Class 2-4-0 in 7mm scale built by Nick Dunhill in support of a charitable cause, and techniques for making shop fronts in card by Adrian Cook.
New products reviewed include the first London Underground tube train to be offered ready-to-run in N gauge – the 1938 Stock by Revolution Trains – plus curved OO bullhead points and TT:120 LMS vans from Peco.

Gracing the cover of the magazine is the new Manning Wardle L Class 0-6-0 saddle tank in OO gauge from Rapido Trains UK, with our sample depicting preserved example Matthew Murray and posed on a diorama representing part of the real locomotive's home line, the historic Middleton Railway in Leeds. Inside the magazine, we review the new model, and Callum Willcox describes how he constructed the diorama.
Railway of the Month is Lydbrook Dean, a superb OO gauge model of a freight-only branch line in the Forest of Dean – which, though not representing a real location, has perfectly captured the atmosphere of such half-forgotten byways towards the end of the British Railways steam era. Other layouts featured include an OO gauge model of Brent station and the Kingsbridge branch in Devon, housed inside a shipping container in Cyprus; Whittingly Hospital, an OO micro layout inspired by private railways serving mental hospitals, which was one of the finalists in the Peco RAIL200 Model Layout Competition; and Culthwaite, an N gauge exhibition layout based on the famous Settle & Carlisle line.
Constructional articles include a fleet of Class 121 and 122 'bubble car' diesel railcars in EM gauge; a 1:148 scale model of Bradford Cathedral, which will be on display in the real building this summer; and a Collett '9700' Class pannier tank in O gauge, created with a conversion kit for a Minerva Model Railways ready-to-run model. Simon Artymiuk also celebrates 75 years of the preserved Talyllyn Railway, a remarkable survivor that has inspired generations of narrow gauge modellers.
