In the November 2025 Railway Modeller, Chris Ford begins a step-by-step guide to constructing a model railway, with the layout based on one of the most popular modelling subjects – the railways of the West Highlands of Scotland. Further modelling guidance comes in the forms of Fford Dinrhyd and Kings Meaburn, layouts in OO9 and N respectively, showing what can be achieved using off-the-shelf sectional track as the starting point. 
Railway of the Month is Penworth, an N gauge Great Western Railway branch line terminus inspired by the celebrated Vale Scene layout at Pendon Museum in Oxfordshire. Other layouts featured include Kimbolton, an OO gauge model of a former station on the Kettering to Cambridge line; Express Daisy (not Dairy!) Sidings, an EM gauge shunting layout; and Cambois Bay, a slice of the industrial North East in OO, complete with the area's trademark coal staiths.
In what is surely one of the most unusual pieces of modelling ever featured in the magazine, Tim Williams of the Bala Lake Railway explains how and why he constructed a miniature OO9 layout to take to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro! John Cockcroft begins the construction of a GWR Star Class 4-6-0 in O gauge (together with 4mm scale drawings of these locomotives) and Callum Willcox shows how to build and realistically weather a Peco/Parkside hopper wagon in O.
New products reviewed include the South Eastern & Chatham Railway O1 Class 0-6-0 from Rapido Trains UK, the BR Class 89 electric locomotive from Accurascale and Rails, and the Hawksworth inspection saloon from Dapol and Rails, all in OO. We also bring you all the latest news, including a bumper month of new locomotive announcements from Rails, Bachmann and Rapido.
