Here are some of my favourite model railway sites, the ones I visit most often…
.
Yuta Atelier
Very beautiful micro layouts made by Yutaka Nakai. Browse the Gallery section to see the impressive quality and diversity of layouts. Plus, there’s a very interesting page describing how these these ‘micros’ are created.
.
Michael’s Model Railways
Lovely layouts, high quality modelling, and some very clever engineering solutions. A great place to learn and be inspired.

Phil’s Workbench
The blog of BRM writer and Garden Rail Editor Phil Parker. Phil is one of the most prolific and enjoyable model railway bloggers.

O9 Modeller
Modelling 15″ gauge miniature railways in 7mm scale on 9mm track. I do admire Colin’s modelling, he’s one of the people who inspired me to try O9.
.
Laurell Today
Soak up the Swedish atmosphere of Henrik’s layout, his 3D designs, military modelling and even boat building. Always great modelling.
.
Nystrup Gravel
Danish and delightful. A 1:35 scale model of a fictional gravel company’s 600mm gauge railway. Superb, detailed modelling.
.
Marty’s Matchbox Makeovers
Old Matchbox cars repaired and repainted to look like new. Marty’s takes you through each stage of the restoration process and presents a ‘reborn’ model at the end. Make a cup of tea, sit somewhere comfortable and take a look.

Chris Ford’s Blog
Prolific modeller, author of three model railway books and former editor of 009 News. Chris has built layouts in OO, HO, 1:24, O-16.5 and OO9, set in South of England, Wales and Norway.
.
Woody’s Modelling Diary
An interesting and varied blog. A modern image standard gauge layout build, behind the scenes photos of the Rocks by Rails Museum and nicely weathered models of articulated trucks. Plus, I’m pleased to say Woody has started modelling in O9. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes!
