We turn the spotlight on N gauge in the October edition of Railway Modeller, firstly with the ′Railway of the Month′, Barton Road, set in Bristol during the BR diesel era of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Chris Ford also begins a new series showing how an N gauge layout can be constructed in a space of just 7′ x 1′, and Steve Flint draws up the ′Plan of the Month′ depicting Penrith station in N. Other layouts featured this month include Garrigill, a superb P4 model of a Stockton & Darlington Railway station in the late 1860s; a 7mm scale, 9mm gauge estate railway; and Kenningham, a Great Eastern Railway branch in the early BR steam era. On the opposite side of the world and at the opposite end of the scale from the N gauge layouts, John Boyson describes how he recreated the viaducts of the West Highland line in Gauge 1 for his garden railway in New Zealand; while Callum Willcox details a venerable Dapol LMS 2P 4-4-0. Star of the reviews pages this month is the new GWR Manor 4-6-0 from Dapol in OO gauge, followed by Merry-Go-Round hoppers from Accurascale and the SECR ′Dance Hall′ brake van from Bachmann, also in OO.
