Favourite Models

In the first of a new series, Evan Green-Hughes looks back at the Hornby-Dublo ‘Princess Coronation’ and explains why he has fond memories of this long-lived model.

If model railways were the real thing, it would appear there are virtually no passengers! James Lavery show how to fit people into some common ready-to-run coaches.

Handling the goods

Cement was and is some of the railway’s most important freight traffic. Evan Green-Hughes looks back at how the railway used to move it, and the models currently available.
