Modelling British Railways: Test Trains is a 116-page guide for railway modellers fascinated by the specialist stock that existed during the British Rail era.
Covering the period from the 1970s to the mid-1990s, it looks at the variety of coaches and multiple units that were used to survey the railway network as well as test new locomotives and rolling stock and carry out experiments with new technologies.
It explains the roles of track-recording, ultrasonic and overhead line monitoring along with others and shows how to recreate them in miniature.
Packed with reference photography, livery details, modelling tips, and formation information, Test Trains explores how to capture the look and purpose of these unique vehicles across three decades and different scales.

Why Buy Direct
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.
Aaron B
Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue
David L
Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft

Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
