Looking for a plan in an old Railway Modeller

Post by JohnR »

I'm looking for the issue of RM with a particular plan of the month in it. I think it was a Roy Link one, which puts it in the late 70s/early 80s.

Its based on a southern branch line, and was I seem to recall L shaped. It may have been in N gauge, as I think it suggested the use of the Minitrix 2-6-2T.

Thanks, I think I would need to narrow it down a bit for them first!

No, its definitely not that one, although that is, of course a well known classic Roy Link plan. This one was definitely Southern Railway/Region.
