RAILWAY OF THE MONTH
LOTTENBIRGE Standard meets narrow gauge in the Erzgebirge – Mark Dale presents a German dual gauge HO/HOe layout with an unusual operating feature – transporter wagons.

PLAN OF THE MONTH
MALLECOMBE The result of a holiday in France – Malcolm Pickering explains how he strayed from modelling British subjects and adapted a real location in HO, changing the name.

FEATURES
ALLEGRA A simple idea, impressively executed – Mike Carter has a new theme in a new (for him) scale and gauge, making good use of Kato N Rhätische Bahn stock.
A SHORTER TURNTABLE Antonio Federici shows how he adapted a Peco N gauge turntable for his Italian HO layout, a conversion that might be useful in other settings. With scale drawings.
HALTE ROYALE D’ARDENNES Rudy Altenhoven created an attractive scene in HO, on the line between Dinant and Bertrix in Belgium.
IMPROVED REMOTE CONTROL OF POINTS Andrew Eastabrook reports how The Pas and Northlands HO garden railway was recently updated.
THE POLLO Part of the former Prignitzer Kreisbahnen – Graham Lightfoot visited the preserved section of a once extensive 750mm gauge network in northern Germany.
PRRENJAS Myles Munsey has modelled something different in HO – a small fragment of the little-known Albanian rail system set firmly in the communist era.
BICYCLE RACK Adapting an Artitec HO model – Jacques Poré shows how he enhanced a small scenic feature intended for The Netherlands to make it French.
