GWR '61XX' 2-6-2Ts
Although the Great Western Railway set out to produce a range of standard steam engines in the Churchward era, inevitably as time went on variants were produced for specific tasks. One of those were the ‘61XX’ 2-6-2Ts which were specifically provided for commuter services in London, as EVAN GREEN-HUGHES explains.

Digital Command Control is in focus in the October 2018 issue of Hornby Magazine, but there is plenty for everyone, no matter what control system you use.

Hornby Magazine September 2018
Headlining the news are Hornby’s LNER ‘Toad’ brake van decorated samples together with new announcements from Heljan, Kernow and Accurascale. An exclusive limited edition VIP ticket for the Great Electric Train Show is also now available plus we reveal more of the 30 layout line-up for the event which takes place on October 13/14 2018 at the Arena MK in Milton Keynes.
Upscaling to ‘O’ gauge
Changing from ‘OO’ to ‘O’ gauge is much simpler than it used to be with an increasing range of motive power and greater consideration to digital control and sound. MIKE WILD opens up the Heljan Class 05 for ‘O’ gauge and shows how it can be enhanced with sound quickly and simply.
