If ever there was an island crammed to the brim with railway interest, it has to be the Isle of Man. The author of this photographic survey has one huge advantage over most of his predecessors, in that he lives on the island and thus has found it relatively easy to be in the right place at the right time. Here are often once-in-a-lifetime shots taken from dawn to dusk in snow, rain and even blistering heat.

The result is a unique pictorial record of not just the Isle of Man Steam Railway but also the equally fascinating Manx Electric and Snaefell Mountain systems. The lesser narrow gauge lines at Groudle Glen and Great Laxey Mine also receive attention, as does the remarkable Douglas Horse Tramway. An informative text embraces the spectacular celebrations of various railway anniversaries, which attracted railway enthusiasts from around the world in the 1990s.

Making Tracks, our first in a series which looks at railway modelling by design. Paul A. Lunn, well known author, tackles this little discussed aspect of our hobby through 10 lavishly illustrated, prototype inspired, chapters culminating with his exciting new concept, ‘Futuristic Design’. Packed with ideas and tips, Paul will encourage you to create and develop your own designs resulting in an interesting to operate and visually pleasing layout. Although principally demonstrated through OO, Paul’s favourite scale, the design skills are easily transferred to any scale/gauge combination.

compasses only part of the line beyond BereAlston which is to bebuiltasasplit-level level layout rising upfromnon-scenicsidings betweenBandF,culminating in an interchange station within the central operating area.The whole layout can be operated in a number of ways;from hidden sidings at F to E,passing through a newparkandridestation,BereAlstonParkandRide(notmodelled but hypothetically between E andA,see larger design),taking the line to Calstock and Callington with services provided by the preserved railway or BR.If the latter option is chosen then Bere

AlstonwouldbecomethepreservedrailwayHQrunningweekend services to Callington.Alternately,BereAlston could become the interchange station with BR using the platform nearest the main station building and the preservation society using the rest.

There are some complicated gradients,scenic and non-scenic sections and in this restricted space it’s not possible to include the newtriangular junction.My device to allow the sameprocedure to takeplace is in theprovision of aPecoLocoLiftonthenon-scenic sidings.Loco’s needing to be turned,having entered junctionsA

Scenically,BereAlston and Calstock stations capture the appearanceoftheprototypeswhereas,onthisdesign,Callingtonisenvisaged very much in the style of the original version at Gunnislake.

The second and considerably larger design is made to suit a standard size garage. It too has some complicated gradients but includes the triangular junction,park and ride station,Gunnislake station and an interpretation of the original one at Callington.In additionthereisasubstantialscenicrunincludingareducedversion ofCalstockviaductandasmallareawithinthetriangleforamodest loco depot (not shown).
