Feature layouts cover Sam Jones’ Peaks ’47, which models the Peak District in 1947; Dungeness in ‘N’ gauge by Fred Garner; a behind-the-scenes feature from North Cornwall Brewery builder Malcolm Briggs explaining his construction methods; David White’s Irish Railway themed Thanecroft Junction and an update on Hornby Magazine’s own project layout as we take the Diversion Route on Topley Dale to completion (for the time being, at least).



Modelling guides turn to simple weathering techniques for nuclear flask wagons working with both the Bachmann FNA bogie wagon and Accurascale PFA, building a GER ‘J69’ 0-6-0T for ‘OO’ gauge using a 3D printed body and ready-to-run chassis and installing digital sound in the Hornby Stanier ‘8F’ 2-8-0 using Locoman Sounds’ highly authentic sound chip. Plus, we look back at the final years of the Class 45 ‘Peaks’ in Reality Check to go with our review of the new ‘sealed beam’ versions from Bachmann and explain the rise in nuclear freight traffic by rail in Railway Realism. Don’t miss it!
