In the June 2026 issue of Railway Modeller, we mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sir Nigel Gresley, the legendary Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London & North Eastern Railway. Special features for the occasion are a history of his life and work, with TT:120 scale drawings of some of his locomotives, and a plan for an extensive OO gauge layout of Doncaster, the birthplace of many of those locomotives. We also review the new Gresley J50 0-6-0T in TT:120 scale from Hornby.
Railway of the Month is Stoke Canon, an N gauge layout re-creating the idyllic scenery of South Devon, while other layouts featured include Bankfield, an OO gauge Privatisation era exhibition layout built by Blackburn & East Lancashire Model Railway Society; Abbey Shed, a compact OO9 layout constructed for the Peco RAIL200 Model Layout Competition; and St Jude's Bay, an OO and OO9 layout that was extracted from a permanent position in a loft and adapted for exhibition use. 
Modelling articles include the story of how the Wilmington Grammar School for Boys Model Railway Club built an entry for the Peco RAIL200 competition; a guide to modelling trees by Gordon Gravett; and how to build the new 7mm scale wooden platform halt kit from Peco. New product reviews include the London & South Western Railway T3 4-4-0 in OO by EFE Rail, N gauge wagons and TT:120 lineside fencing from Peco, and OO gauge RailRoad Class 37 diesels from Hornby.
