FIRST REVIEW: Bachmann’s all-new Class 25

Railway Signalling
Signalling is vital for the safe operation of the railway – and if correctly modelled it can help emphasise the period, region and realism of a model railway, as EVAN GREEN-HUGHES describes.
REALITY CHECK: Class 25 Variety
The numerous Class 25s have a rather confusing history, as within the 327 examples built there have been numerous sub-classes and individual variations, as EVAN GREEN-HUGHES explains.

Dalziel North in OO gauge

Alston station in N gauge
The design brief for this 'N' gauge model railway layout was that it should be on one board that could fit in the back of a car and be interesting to run. Alston modelled in 'N' gauge is the result.
