My 100th issue of Garden Rail!

 

Garden Rail January 2026

In my 100th issue as Editor, 

Did you know? The Lynton & Barnstaple line, once nicknamed the “toy train”, has its very own 16mm scale model railway! Pete Chandler takes us behind the scenes, and shows how you can get involved.

On the workbench this month:

  • Building a 5-inch gauge loco
  • Chassis for our 16mm Planet diesel
  • Scratch-building a Gauge 3 steeple cab
  • Welsh slate wagons
  • A micro layout for your office corner
  • Repairing an LGB point
We visit the Wernigerode model village, a G-scale stunner. 

Out in the garden, we’re exploring lineside planting ideas and sharing tips to encourage youngsters into our hobby.

Plus: All the latest news for large-scale modellers!

Available from all good newsagents, or our online store.
