Bachmann Europe’s Autumn 2022 announcements featured some exciting news, particularly for diesel and electric-era modellers. As a confirmed Class 37 fan, the prospect of four more of the all-new high-specification ‘Tractors’ in various British Rail liveries was music to my ears. Furthermore, a parcel arrived from Bachmann HQ just before we closed for press containing, among other things, a review sample of a BR blue ‘37’. Yes readers, it did feel like Christmas had come early! ‘N’ gauge enthusiasts will also have been cheered by the first all-new tooling in the Farish range for some time: the Class 90 AC electric. Let’s hope that more new announcements in 2mm scale follow in the near future. Read all about the Bachmann and Farish developments on page 8, and look out for…

NEW SENTINEL BATCH IN THE WORKS

We’re delighted to announce that a fourth batch of Model Rail’s exclusive ‘OO’ gauge LNER Sentinels is about to enter production. Once again, we’ve teamed up with Dapol to create four new versions of the ‘Y1’ and ‘Y3’ 4wVBT, depicting the humble locomotives across their LNER and BR careers. Each version will be strictly limited to 250 pieces, and we’ve worked hard to keep the price as low as possible, despite the various challenges facing the hobby industry at the moment. Production should be getting under way imminently, and we hope to open the order book as soon as we have a clear idea of when the models are due to arrive in the UK. As usual, the models will only be available from Model Rail and subscribers can claim…

MORE BR MODERN TRACTION TO COME FROM BACHMANN

CLASS 37 QUARTET REVEALED While Bachmann Europe caused a stir in late July with the appearance of an all-new, high-specification ‘OO’ Class 37, many of us were left wondering what other versions would follow ‘large logo’ blue 37430 Cwmbran. During the company’s Autumn 2022 British Railway Announcements, four more ‘37s’ were revealed, encompassing some of British Rail’s most popular liveries. Across the four new models, there’s a variety of detail differences, illustrating the breadth of the Bachmann Branchline tooling suite. Split-headcode ‘37/0’ 37034 wears plain BR Rail blue and sports original buffer cowlings, while 37043 Loch Lomond also represents a ‘split box’ Class 37/0, but with cutaway bufferbeams and car-style headlamps. Bedecked in ‘large logo’ BR blue, complete with Eastfield depot’s large Scotty dog emblems, Loch Lomond is bound to…

NEW ‘BOXES’ FROM C-RAIL FOR ‘N’ AND ‘00’

Intermodal not only represents one of the UK’s most important rail-borne cargoes, but it’s also one of the most colourful. Indeed, at the recent DEMU Showcase event, it was interesting to see how engaged younger enthusiasts were by the sight of container trains on the various layouts. Accordingly, one of the most colourful trader’s displays was that of C-Rail Intermodal, which specialises in the production of authentic containers in both ‘N’ and ‘OO’. A variety of new container liveries have recently been added to the C-Rail range for both scales, and we were given a handful of each to assess. In ‘N’ gauge, ten new livery options are now available across the range of 20ft and 40ft dry containers, with original and modern corrugation patterns to suit the various colour schemes.…

Covid blues and bolts

Despite trying my best to avoid catching it, I finally succumbed to the virus that has dominated everyone’s lives for the past two years. After a week confined in a rural Rutland hotel room, feeling too ill to face the 4+hour drive back to Northumberland, I was so glad to finally get home. It took a while before I could focus enough to undertake anything requiring any kind of concentration, but a couple of Peco ‘TT:120’ building kits provided an enjoyable return to practical modelling (see page 96). However, when I’m not feeling my best, I prefer to work on non-railway subjects, so I managed to put a few hours into a 1:24 scale truck kit that I’ve had on the go for a few months. I’m a big fan of…

Covid blues and bolts

A European adventure in ‘N’ I have been building my Northern France and Alsace layout for 17 years. I can only work on it a couple of days per month as it is in our house in Northern France, which we visit monthly, and there always seems to be gardening and maintenance to do, rather than modelling. My layout ignores all prototypical rules. It is set up on the premise that the layout extension to the right goes to Alsace. This is close to the German border and gives me the excuse to run German and French rolling stock. The layout assumes that Eurostar trains run to additional destinations across Europe. The main Northern France central section of the layout has a Le Shuttle terminal, assuming it runs further into France owing…

In the land of the inch-high people, we’re on the eve of a national strike. Hubert the horse refuses to budge, despite Shamus’ pleading. The narrow gauge tourist train has halted, and farm worker Terry has blocked the line, just in case the loco crew are enticed by the offer of free beer from the pub; there’ll be no blacklegging on his watch. The fishing fleet is hanging up its nets, now that the fish gutters have withdrawn their labour. Power to the (little) people!…

Ben Ando is the founder of Revolution Trains and a regular contributor to Model Rail. “Trying to make the moulds work for a more basic version is not only a distraction but will also add cost to the project” We all know that the cost of living is going up, driven largely by soaring energy prices. So should model companies respond by cutting the prices and specifications of their models? Nobody likes bad news, and most of us prefer to see our glasses as half-full, rather than half-empty. So it is not surprising that on social media and elsewhere many are critical of the ‘scaremongers’ warning of an upcoming cost of living crisis. Nevertheless, anyone with even a small interest in the news will know that the war in Ukraine, and resultant tensions with Russia,…

Black Country in a box

There are few things in the model railway world better than the hustle and bustle of a busy exhibition hall, with modellers showing off all their years of hard work, and visitors getting inspiration left, right and centre. One of the biggest shows in the United Kingdom is The International N Gauge Show (TINGS) and every year we preview one of the layouts you’ll be able to see at the exhibition. This year we shine the spotlight on Ed Purcell’s ‘Gravelly Oak’, a modern image branch line terminus on the Black Country/Shropshire border. “I decided when it came to building this layout that I wanted to try something closer to the present day than I had done in the past,” explains Ed, “and my club wanted a greater selection of small…

ON SHED – WESTERN REGION STYLE

As my collection of 7mm scale locomotives expanded, I began to think of how I could best show them off, especially as they have been detailed and weathered. Shiny wood plinths or display cabinets are all well and good, but I wanted something a little more atmospheric. Measuring 43in by 19in, this ‘O’ gauge diorama features scratchbuilt buildings by Martin Fay. The combined water and coaling tower, yard office and other structures are rendered in plastic card, clad with Slater’s embossed plastic sheets, with plenty of styrene girders, strip and section employed too. My friend Stephen, Martin’s son, took care of the painting and weathering of the structures, plus the scenic work, including the realistic grimy groundwork – and what a great job he did. To suit my model collection, the shed…

HOW TO BUILD A GAS WORKS PART FOUR

In previous instalments, we have looked at how I adapted a laser-cut kit of a lineside warehouse into a retort house, I’ve hacked some fuel tank kits around to create a set of process tanks and I’ve scratchbuilt a purifier unit. Thus, we have taken care of the various gas-making processes, leaving us with a need for a storage tank, so the gas can be safely retained before it heads off to the customers. The gas holder – or gasometer – will also serve another vital purpose. A wooden newel post from a staircase is set into the wall, slap-bang in the middle of my backscene. A tall gas holder would provide a perfect means of hiding that wooden post. Indeed, it was seeing Bachmann’s Scenecraft resin low-relief gas holder that…

HOW TO BUILD A STONE RAIL OVERBRIDGE

Foam pieces and Styrofoam are good materials for making scenery and the basis of structures on a model railway, including buildings, retaining walls, bridges and other features. I used it as the basis for building a ‘folly’ in issue 302. After completing the ‘folly’ I decided to try the same process on a railway-related structure. Using hard foam is easy, because it cuts quickly if you have the right tools such as the Woodland Scenics Hot Wire Foam Cutter or Foam Knife which both create very little mess. The Foam Knife is very useful because the blade is 5cm long which is a lot longer than normal craft knives, allowing you to cut thicker foam easily. I decided to have a go at building a masonry rail overbridge and it’s supporting…

KNOW YOUR… LIVERIES

PART 11B: Class 56 in the privatisation era With the Government set on privatising the railways, the Railways Act of 1993 split BR’s freight operations into three franchises: Transrail, Loadhaul and Mainline Freight, with BR’s former Railfreight locomotive fleet being divided among them. The 135-strong fleet of Class 56s was split between Transrail and Loadhaul, although they all ended up under the same operator once again when English, Welsh & Scottish (EWS) bought all three of the franchises in 1995, initially monopolising the freight sector. However, EWS chiefs were not impressed by most of BR’s aging – and unreliable – locomotives, purchasing 250 Class 66s from GM/EMD to replace them. Withdrawals of ‘56s’ began in the 1990s, with the surviving locomotives axed in March 2004. Some went to work on the Continent, but…

DAVE LOWERY’S TOP TIPS

In my experience of building kits – etched brass kits in particular – you plough through the main construction with reasonable care and endeavour, ending up with something approaching 80% complete. And then there are those final small pieces that, if left off, wouldn’t really spoil the model too much. But, at the same time, you would know that you really should have taken the time and effort to finish it off properly. Such was the case with a brass kit for the Freightliner FLA ‘low-liner’ inter-modal wagon, which has a lot of in-fills to the outriggers. Two such parts which fit into the centre ends of the wagon needed to be fitted. I made sure the part was the correct shape for the hole it would fit into, before soldering a…

DAVE LOWERY’S TOP TIPS

HOW TO IMPROVE RESIN PAVEMENTS

Q I recently bought some Bachmann Scenecraft ‘OO’ gauge pavement sections but, when I opened the packet, I realised that they were overly thick, at around 4mm. That makes them a scale 1ft tall above the road surface, so pedestrians will need to be rather agile to cross the road! Do you have any ideas about how I can make them look more realistic? P. Hodges, by email Peter says: The guys at Bachmann Europe inform me that the depth of the pavement sections are the minimum that can be achieved with the resin casting process, without the risk of warping or breakage. However, after a bit of experimentation, I’ve come up with a few options to minimise the height, or the perception of excess height. Firstly, the road surface can be raised…

HOW TO IMPROVE RESIN PAVEMENTS

We have a question for you. What do you think is the most easily recognised section of railway in the United Kingdom? By a section of railway, we don’t mean a station with its grand infrastructure but a part of the line that’s out in the open. Your mind may jump to places such as Glenfinnan Viaduct, but if you aren’t familiar with the Harry Potter film franchise then that could easily pass you by. Alan Price thinks he has found the answer with his ‘OO’ gauge exhibition layout though, as he says somebody always recognises it when he’s out and about. ‘Outwell Village’ is so named because, unsurprisingly, it’s based in Outwell on the Wisbech & Upwell tramway with its distinctive ‘J70’ tram engines. “There’s no other layout on the…

CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION

While many drool over grand buildings on the network, I’ve always loved a solitary lineside hut framed within the countryside. Depending on style and material, they say so much about a railway company; whether it be the corrugations of the Great Western Railway or concrete, the preferred material of choice of the Southern Railway. The latter, a particular favourite, can be excellently portrayed with Ratio’s plastic kit No. 518. Always on the lookout for new ideas, particularly layout designs that are rarely, if ever, modelled, I wonder how many of us have considered a concrete works, such as Exmouth Junction. It closed in 1963 and work then transferred to Taunton concrete works until 1995, so there’s plenty of scope for including one, no matter your modelling period. See elsewhere in…

However, a vast number of tank wagons were needed to carry aviation fuel during the Second World War, so the Government’s Petroleum Board and wagon builder Charles Roberts created an updated design, incorporating a simplified means of securing the tank barrel to the underframe. The previous method of strapping a barrel within a substantial timber and steel frame was eschewed in favour of a simple anchor mounting.

HOW TO BUILD A STONE RAIL OVERBRIDGE

Foam pieces and Styrofoam are good materials for making scenery and the basis of structures on a model railway, including buildings, retaining walls, bridges and other features. I used it as the basis for building a ‘folly’ in issue 302. After completing the ‘folly’ I decided to try the same process on a railway-related structure. Using hard foam is easy, because it cuts quickly if you have the right tools such as the Woodland Scenics Hot Wire Foam Cutter or Foam Knife which both create very little mess. The Foam Knife is very useful because the blade is 5cm long which is a lot longer than normal craft knives, allowing you to cut thicker foam easily. I decided to have a go at building a masonry rail overbridge and it’s…

George Dent MR’s editor and chief model maker can offer advice on almost any subject. Peter Marriott Rumour has it that MR’s resident scenery buff even uses a Gras-Master on his own front lawn… Paul Chancellor Paul is the proprietor of the well-known railway photographic archive Colour Rail. Dave Lowery Professional model maker who’s been there, done that and got the T-shirt! HOW TO CREATE A UNIQUE SET OF BUFFERSTOPS Q In the June issue of Model Rail (MR300), George created a bufferstop from a grounded gunpowder van. He wrote that he’d been unable to find photographic proof that these existed in reality – surely this could never have happened, as they would not offer proper protection compared to a ‘real’ set of stop blocks.

PART 11B: Class 56 in the privatisation era With the Government set on privatising the railways, the Railways Act of 1993 split BR’s freight operations into three franchises: Transrail, Loadhaul and Mainline Freight, with BR’s former Railfreight locomotive fleet being divided among them. The 135-strong fleet of Class 56s was split between Transrail and Loadhaul, although they all ended up under the same operator once again when English, Welsh & Scottish (EWS) bought all three of the franchises in 1995, initially monopolising the freight sector. However, EWS chiefs were not impressed by most of BR’s aging – and unreliable – locomotives, purchasing 250 Class 66s from GM/EMD to replace them. Withdrawals of ‘56s’ began in the 1990s, with the surviving locomotives axed in March 2004. Some went to work on…

DAVE LOWERY’S TOP TIPS

In my experience of building kits – etched brass kits in particular – you plough through the main construction with reasonable care and endeavour, ending up with something approaching 80% complete. And then there are those final small pieces that, if left off, wouldn’t really spoil the model too much. But, at the same time, you would know that you really should have taken the time and effort to finish it off properly. Such was the case with a brass kit for the Freightliner FLA ‘low-liner’ inter-modal wagon, which has a lot of in-fills to the outriggers. Two such parts which fit into the centre ends of the wagon needed to be fitted. I made sure the part was the correct shape for the hole it would fit into, before…

HOW TO IMPROVE RESIN PAVEMENTS

Q I recently bought some Bachmann Scenecraft ‘OO’ gauge pavement sections but, when I opened the packet, I realised that they were overly thick, at around 4mm. That makes them a scale 1ft tall above the road surface, so pedestrians will need to be rather agile to cross the road! Do you have any ideas about how I can make them look more realistic? P. Hodges, by email Peter says: The guys at Bachmann Europe inform me that the depth of the pavement sections are the minimum that can be achieved with the resin casting process, without the risk of warping or breakage. However, after a bit of experimentation, I’ve come up with a few options to minimise the height, or the perception of excess height. Firstly, the road surface…

HOW TO IMPROVE RESIN PAVEMENTS

We have a question for you. What do you think is the most easily recognised section of railway in the United Kingdom? By a section of railway, we don’t mean a station with its grand infrastructure but a part of the line that’s out in the open. Your mind may jump to places such as Glenfinnan Viaduct, but if you aren’t familiar with the Harry Potter film franchise then that could easily pass you by. Alan Price thinks he has found the answer with his ‘OO’ gauge exhibition layout though, as he says somebody always recognises it when he’s out and about. ‘Outwell Village’ is so named because, unsurprisingly, it’s based in Outwell on the Wisbech & Upwell tramway with its distinctive ‘J70’ tram engines. “There’s no other layout on…

Model: BR Class 151 DMU Scale: ‘OO’ Proposed by: Ronald Craggs What is it? By the 1980s, British Rail faced a pressing need to replace a huge fleet of aging (and asbestos-riddled) diesel multiple units (DMUs), which had been the saviour of many branch lines during the Beeching era. With fewer train builders active in the UK, and with BR under pressure from a Conservative government to keep costs to a minimum, various budget-friendly options were considered. The infamous ‘Pacers’ duly emerged, but so too did a slightly more upmarket range of units, which led to the successful ‘Sprinter’ family of DMUs, which are still in use today. One of the less well-known prototypes was created by Metro-Cammell and evaluated by BR. The three-car Class 151 featured an aluminium body and a 285hp Cummins diesel…

Railway Children – all grown up The sad news of the death of Bernard Cribbins, Mr Perks in the 1970 movie The Railway Children, came just 24 hours after my grandchildren had taken me to see the eagerly awaited sequel, The Railway Children Return. It was his stellar performance and Lionel Jeffries’ masterful direction, which had made the original movie the perennial classic that it now is. I would not normally write a film review, but as I have an ‘O’ gauge layout based on the original movie and I’m known as a big Jenny Agutter fan, I am going to pen a few words. I will try to avoid ‘spoilers’ relating to the story itself, which is very much for a 2020s audience rather than the 1970s audience of the original. It…

CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION

While many drool over grand buildings on the network, I’ve always loved a solitary lineside hut framed within the countryside. Depending on style and material, they say so much about a railway company; whether it be the corrugations of the Great Western Railway or concrete, the preferred material of choice of the Southern Railway. The latter, a particular favourite, can be excellently portrayed with Ratio’s plastic kit No. 518. Always on the lookout for new ideas, particularly layout designs that are rarely, if ever, modelled, I wonder how many of us have considered a concrete works, such as Exmouth Junction. It closed in 1963 and work then transferred to Taunton concrete works until 1995, so there’s plenty of scope for including one, no matter your modelling period. See elsewhere in…

Even in the annals of master carriage restorer Stephen Middleton it has to be pretty exceptional. I have long been an admirer of Stephen’s work with the restoration of ancient rolling stock, since I first encountered it while working on Railway World back in the 1980s. Yet, remarkably, I had never seen any of his carriages ‘in the flesh’ until I attended the annual Warley MRC exhibition at the NEC in 2019. That year, the exhibition centrepiece was NER Electric Autocar No. 3170 and I was instantly captivated. Primitive railway equipment…

However, a vast number of tank wagons were needed to carry aviation fuel during the Second World War, so the Government’s Petroleum Board and wagon builder Charles Roberts created an updated design, incorporating a simplified means of securing the tank barrel to the underframe. The previous method of strapping a barrel within a substantial timber and steel frame was eschewed in favour of a simple anchor mounting. Consisting of a pair of fabricated steel saddles and central anchor plates, the arrangement allowed the chassis to flex…
