In 2000 the Great Western Railway museum in Swindon moved
to a new location inside the historic locomotive works site.
Nigel Harris takes a tour of the museum, now called STEAM and
introduces the programme. The museum provides an insight into
life in a big railway workshop which built everything from
brooms to locomotives.
Wintergate High Road

It's all in the details
Chris Leigh continues his series of features on model
buildings by adding chimneys, gutters and valancing to a
station building.

Mike Ellis's picturesque '00' layout is inspired by Church
Stretton but features a distinctive '009' narrow gauge feeder
line as well.
