MAKING TRACKS FOR CHESTER CATHEDRAL
Creating a brand-new model railway is one thing, building a giant 64ft long model of the West Coast Main Line for a three month long event in Chester Cathedral is quite another. PETE WATERMAN OBE relished the challenge and in our comprehensive guide to this fantastic ‘OO’ gauge layout he reveals the full story behind the project.
WEATHERING STANDARDS
With his trademark weathering and detailing, TIM SHACKLETON looks at some of the subtle variations that exist among these supposedly standardised classes.
BR Standard Survey
A vast array of BR Standards are currently available across ‘OO’, ‘N’ and ‘O’ gauge, as MARK CHIVERS outlines.
BR Standard history
British Railways’ Standard steam engines were amongst the most advanced ever built in this country, yet were destined to have short lives. EVAN GREEN-HUGHES looks into their development, and examines how each class came to be built.
BR Standard train formations
As British Railways’ new Standard steam locomotives began to appear in the early 1950s, they were soon pressed into service, replacing older motive power in the process. MARK CHIVERS presents a selection of typical BR Standard train formations from the 1950s and 1960s which you can replicate in ‘OO’ gauge.
