Also 14 books about railways have so far been indexed, with references to their picture content. These references may prove of use to someone for finding a picture. Thanks to Joomla!, there is a fully functioning search facility too. We have many more magazines to index, and lots more books to look at. Hopefully with more indexing being done, rather than just looking at magazines and reading articles.

Please note, that due to the nature of progress in the world of model railways, some things mentioned within this website may well have become obsolete (particularly pertaining to electrical matters) or may even be so far out of date to now be irrelevant. Product reviews spring to mind here too, the companies that produced them may well no longer be in business. Some of the products may also have been superceded with something bigger or far better, like controllers for instance.

All references are listed for historical interest only, especially references to layouts, which in the older magazines, will almost certainly now will have ceased to exist. Also pictures, picture quality wasn't as good as we have it now, most were black and white, a lot were not of very good quality.
