WORLD OF RAILWAYS

HEATON LODGE • With more than 100 baseboards, and measuring over 180ft in length, Britain’s Biggest Model Railway is now complete and ready to hit the road.

INBOX • Your forum for sharing information, questions, praise, grumbles, projects, layouts and your thoughts on the hobby then and now.

WATERY LANE SIDINGS • Dave Hall further refined his already highly-accomplished scrapyard scene, while avoiding the stereotypical operational quirks of smaller layouts.

THE RAILWAY VIADUCT • Arguably the most impressive of railway features and of many different styles, these raised structures make equally imposing models, as Clive Baker shares.

HOW TO... BUILD A VIADUCT • Experienced layout builder, Jeff Grainger, shares his intricate construction of this mammoth structure, based on a Settle and Carlisle prototype.

Layouts with viaducts • Viaducts, by their very nature, are large in the real world and are some of the grandest successes of the Victorians. On layouts, they’re impressive, but they can take a lot of planning, skill and materials to produce; especially when scratch-built. Andy York selects some of the finest we’ve featured in BRM.

HOW TO... BUILD A CARD INDUSTRIAL UNIT • Phil Parker builds this accessible N gauge modern warehouse kit from Metcalfe Models.

RUSHWICK • The fruit of lockdown labour, this branch line terminus is a lesson in prototype observation, recycling and using what is to hand. Nick Palette explains.

HOW TO... WEATHER WITH POWDERS • Howard Smith uses Hornby’s Class 156 to demonstrate a beginners accessible upgrade technique for any item of motive power or rolling stock.
