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.

In the August edition of Narrow Gauge World we tick off a bucket-list item for many an enthusiast, as we join a photo charter on the legendary Darjeeling Himlayan Railway in India.
