EXHIBITION DIARY
INSIDE THIS ISSUE
A forestry line
Inspired by typical operations in eastern Europe, Laurent Vandermotte wanted to capture the atmosphere of forestry railways in the 1950s, such as the Viseu line in Romania and various Polish operations.
Sound for a Gr940
Roberto Macchi evaluates the recent Rivarossi HO model of an Italian 2-8-2T and describes in detail how he fitted a digital sound decoder by Portigliatti.
Time for TT?
Richard Self suggests that it is time to look again at TT, the ‘gauge in the middle’, between HO and N, promoted as ‘the ideal gauge’: small enough to fit in, large enough to have a good level of detail.
Two small cafés
Emmanuel Nouaillier continues his campaign devoted to modelling urban architecture in miniature, here setting the first completed café into a scene.
Latest reviews
The headline review item this month is the HO scale ÖBB Rh1041 from Roco.
