In the December 2022 edition of Railway Modeller, famous record producer Pete Waterman tells the story of his lifetime railway interest, as we pay a visit to his stunning O gauge layout depicting Leamington Spa as it was in the 1950s. We provide a full preview of the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition at the NEC on 26 & 27 November, including features on some of the layouts due to attend – Margate Warren, Chwarel Tegid and Chris Ford′s N gauge layout project – and scale drawings of the BR Class 3MT 2-6-2T, of which new-build example No.82045 will be on display at the show. Toby Jennings shows how to use the Peco catch point on your layout and how to create an alternative version from a bullhead point, while Callum Willcox builds a freelance narrow gauge locomotive from one of the latest kits by Fourdees. A bumper ten pages of reviews includes the first ready-to-run model from Planet Industrials (the Kerr, Stuart Victory class 0-6-0T in OO), Genesis four- and six-wheeled coaches in OO from Hattons, and Ffestiniog Railway quarrymen′s coaches in OO9 from Peco.
