Narrow Gauge World is the only newsstand magazine that puts narrow gauge centre stage. Yesterday’s history, today’s news and tomorrow’s projects are all covered in detail in our pages.

We uncover fascinating stories from the rich and varied history of the narrow gauge, we carry unrivalled in-depth news coverage, we feature the many new projects, talking directly to the people involved, on today’s busy and vibrant narrow gauge, in the UK and across the globe. Our photography is a highlight, from period pictures often published for the first time, to the best work from today’s photographers, used big and bold.

Narrow Gauge World launches into 2026 with an insight into the Brecon Mountain Railway, an often overlooked line about to enter a new and more prominent era.

James Waite goes in search of the novel vertical-boilered 'Nutty' and its Sentinel sisters.

Donald Brooks describes the Swiss Wengernalpbahn, the world's longest pure rack railway.

And David Rowbotham heads back to Romania for some more pioneer-style railway preservation.

Our unrivalled news coverage includes the latest disposals from Collection X – steam hauled by steam, and the report into the Lisbon funicular disaster.

In the modelling pages we head to the National Festival of Railway modelling where we highlight some modular marvels.
