Staff Projects: Topley Dale scenic overhaul
Over time scenic materials can fade and lose their impact . MIKE WILD explains what he did to bring a fresh finish to the ground cover around Topley Dale station in this step by step guide.
Staff Projects: Model me
At the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition MIKE WILD visited the ModelU 3D stand to be immortalised in miniature as a ‘Western’ driver. The results are in and he’s now at the controls of a pair of Dapol Class 52s.
Staff Projects: Detail matters
With the long winter evenings upon us, MARK CHIVERS has been adding fresh details to his Southern Region Class 33 and 73 fleet including new numbers and etched nameplates.
Staff Projects: Thinking ahead
Following a busy autumn season of projects MIKE WILD is already thinking about what to build next in both ‘OO’ and ‘O’ gauge.
Staff Projects: On your marks, get set, go…
The Hornby Magazine team put on a special display of four layouts in four different gauges for the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition in 2019, but one had only just been started at the beginning of the month. MIKE WILD explains all.
Staff Projects: The great outdoors
A house move and a bare garden were all the inspiration MIKE WILD needed to begin building one of his lifetime ambitions – a garden railway in ‘O’ gauge. In this whistle-stop introduction, he takes us behind closed doors to reveal the early stages of the project over its first 12 months.
Staff Projects: Lighting control
A little extra detail can go a long way, especially in 7mm scale. MIKE WILD has been using the evenings to add a few finishing touches to his ‘O’ gauge ‘Western’.
