Y7 in print


December RM

In this month's Railway Modeller magazine you can read about build ex-LNER Y7 locomotives in three different scales. The 7mm version did make an appearance here but in print the pictures are better. You also get to see how the 3 and 4mm versions compare.

As well as this there is an excellent DVD - the best cover disk they have produced so far. There's plenty on it, I haven't manged to watch it all yet !

"Railway of the Month" is Pete Watermans model of Leamington Spa. As a resident of the town this interests me of course, but in addition I have actually been up and seen the model. Although you get a track plan this can't give a sense of the shear scale of the project. It is vast. And brilliantly made. Perhaps I'd better focus on the excellent Highland layout in the same magazine.
