Read all the latest news in the May 2025 issue of Model Rail, including a report on Manchester MRS’ centenary celebrations and Hornby’s special RAIL200-themed models. Our exclusive Accurascale Class 31 arrives, and we also mark founding editor Chris Leigh’s retirement.
As usual, our Workbench section is crammed with inspirational projects, including a guide to replicating a rendered finish on a pair of houses, plus an ultra-realistic engineers’ wagon load YOU can build in a couple of evenings. As well as two superb readers’ layouts, in 4mm and 7mm scale, we also put some exciting new models under the spotlight in our review pages, including the Cavalex Models Class 60 and Dapol Class 88, along with the latest wagons from Rapido, Revolution and Oxford Rail.
It's all in the latest issue of Model Rail, on sale now!
