The January 2025 issue is out now, marking the 19th year from NGDU’s current editing team. A new year provides a chance to reflect, and I’ve decided that issue 100 – Jan 2026 – will be the last under the current management. We’re seeking interest from readers and supporters to “take on” NGDU – if you are interested, please get in touch!
I’ve done the role as a part-time ‘job’ of sorts. NGDU requires fairly-constant attention, amounting to a few hours every week. Each issue involves about 40 hours in total – plus there are back issues to send, admin to tackle etc. In return, you’ll receive immense satisfaction, plus a profitable small business.

In the meantime, enjoy the January 2025 issue’s diverse features: from a scenic club layout; to a Vietnamese paddy field; from a German field railway to the deepest woods. There’s plenty to please anyone!
