Nigel Harris introduces this programme from Paddington station and the Heathrow Exprss service including scenes on board and around the trains, inside the state of the art Old Oak Common depot and a cab ride into Heathrow Central station.

Stoney Middleton
Peter Mason's Buxton cellar is full of modern image '00' layout. We take a close look at a diverse array of traffic from cross country passenger trains to block stone, postal and local van trains.

Polystyrene scenic work
Dave Lowry continues his demonstration of building an open frame baseboard, begun in Model Rail video 11, by filling in the gaps in the frame with a scenic base made of expanded polystyrene.

All paint and powder
Darren Sherwood gives some plastic wagons the timber treatment with replacement 'unpainted' planks and dry powder weathering. There's even a role for real coal.

'Golden Arrow'
Chris Leigh shows how to fit the Model Rail 'Golden Arrow' nameplates and fittings to a new Hornby light 'Pacific' in readiness for the arrival of Hornby's new Pullman cars.
