Issue 135 is being despatched this week. We lead this issue with a superb model of a Swedish station building in 1:45 scale with fine detail that includes inside furniture, wallpaper and lighting.

Regular contributor Stuart Baker has drawn an unusual small Bagnall built for Uruguay. We also include historical photos of the Chattenden & Upnor Railway from regular contributor Sydney Leleux and a study into ‘poor track’ so often found on industrial systems. We also have further...

Firstly we would like to wish all our readers old and new a Happy New Year. We have just sent Review issue 133 off to the printer for distribution later this month. We lead this issue with the first of a series on David John’s Dinas Manod - the next station on his imagined extension to the Festiniog Railway.
