Hornby Magazine  |  Hornby Yearbook 2018 Bookazine
Hornby Magazine is at the forefront of model railway publishing, bringing you informed and enticing features on layouts, skills and the very latest products.
In this tenth edition of the Hornby Magazine Yearbook, we put the latest ‘Pacifics’ from Hornby head-to-head, reveal the story of the British 4-6-2, show you how to add sound to Hornby’s new ‘Merchant Navy’, reflect on Railfreight sectorisation with a pair of Class 37s and discover just how good Hornby’s 1970s introduced Ferry Van can be with simple upgrades and detailing.
We also survey the array of readily available shunting locomotives for ‘OO’, ‘N’ and ‘O’ scales as well as investigating the rise of 7mm scale during 2017. The overhaul of Twelve Trees Junction is profiled in full with behind-the-scenes images from the Hornby Magazine workshop.
Plus we have Hornby Magazine’s Top 20 products listing and a full review of all the locomotive and rolling stock releases from 2017. Just as importantly, we have compiled a fully updated preview of all the locomotive models which are currently in development for release in 2018 and beyond for ‘OO’, ‘O’ and ‘N’ gauges.
Add to that quality photography, in-depth step-by-step guides from Tim Shackleton, Paul Chetter and Mike Wild, inspirational favourite layouts from the pages of Hornby Magazine and evocative black and white prototype images, this Yearbook is packed full of great model and railway features to influence your own project.
This new volume of the Hornby Magazine Yearbook is a must-have addition for modellers of all ages and skill levels and offers a tantalising view of the potential of model railways in all scales and for a variety of eras too.
