October edition now out

We lodged the October edition for delivery to subscribers this week. There are some great stories – Dan Pickard’s compact “Diggers Bend” shows that great modelling doesn’t require big spaces. David Dunn is at it again, with some neat conversions and the start of a new series featuring projects you can tackle in a week of evenings – perfect for time-poor or motivation-starved modellers.

History buffs will enjoy the continuation of Mark Fry’s series on Australian sawmills – many of the images have never been published and offer a vibrant glimpse of times gone by. And there’s more – you’ll have to grab a copy to see it all…

Thanks to Louise (our budding webmaster), a database of every in-print article for Narrow Gauge Downunder is now available. On the “Articles Index” page you can search easily for plans and articles.

So if you remember that – sometime before social media was invented – your favourite prototype, subject or author got a mention, use our article index to find which issue it’s in. You can even order on-the-spot using the “Buy Now” button in our “Store“, and we’ll rush a copy your way.

Now get on with some modelling…
