The October issue of Narrow Gauge Downunder is on schedule, and will feature the VR-themed “Cripple Creek Tramway”, which operates realistically using live steam locomotion. We’ll also visit the mysterious “Mystic Mines” (in On30); build a steam rail motor; and much more. Look out for the October NGDU in a few weeks…

The diversity of Narrow Gauge Downunder is on show in the July 2020 issue – we visit a large-scale layout built for minimum space – Steve Pettit’s “Trouble Brewing Co”; an amazing operating 1:350 diorama of the iconic VR Selby trestle; and the huge HOn3 Rio Grande Southern of Jeff Reynolds.

Plus, plenty of projects – detailing projects; scenery basics and an industrial diesel kit bash. There’s plenty to unwind with, in the July NGDU….

The April issue of Narrow Gauge Downunder is available! We’ve dispatched copies to subscribers, newsagents and (if they’re open) to regular stockists. To ensure availability for those in ‘iso’ we’re also making the April issue available for purchase online (usually this would wait until July). Just visit our online store to order a copy delivered to your door!

This issue has some great articles, beginning with Rod Hutchinson’s iconic tramway vision, “The Points”. We also cover the real location in “Off the Beaten Track” – plus all the great projects, techniques and information you expect in every issue.

A gift subscription to Narrow Gauge Downunder is the perfect Xmas stocking filler… Order now, and we can send a complimentary gift certificate, together with the just-released January 2020 issue.

The January issue features three great layouts – from Garry Walden’s scenic HOn3 exhibition scene; re-kindling the “Nighthawk Branch” in Sn3; and Ken Tate’s wonderful 12″ gauge line. Plus, plenty of how-to’s, tips and latest products reviewed.

Get on board, in time for Xmas.

Keith McCarron’s photos of Paul Ferguson’s “Silverton Northern” railroad in HOn3, simply demanded that we print them nice and large for readers to enjoy. You’ll experience all this in the July issue of NGDU – along with hints for laser-cut kits; modelling from historic images; trying a fresh scale and much more. Plus, all the news and highlights from the 2019 Australian Narrow Gauge Convention – out by 1 July for readers and stockists.

We’ve just released the January 2019 issue of Narrow Gauge Downunder. If you enjoy new ideas, interesting projects and neat layouts – this issue is a holiday reading treat!

John Curry’s “Richmond Bridge” On16.5 layout evolved from a simple display into a complex layout – read how John re-invented his layout in our feature article. Then, follow along with the experts, to build a passenger coach; card goods shed; or a freelanced UK-style shunting locomotive.

Are tramways more your ‘thing’? Then enjoy our plans and step-by-step photos for scratch building the “Swanee Creek” trestle. Or enjoy Dieter Jaeger’s innovative approach to ‘free and simple’ stone walls. There’s plenty for everyone over the holiday break – get your copy soon…
