BRILL April issue on sale www.guidelinepublications.co.uk
Never miss an issue & delivered to your door 12 issues from £6o
British Railways Illustrated
Now in its 34th year of publication, and long known by its cheerful acronym 'BRILL', British Railways Illustrated focuses on the nationalised and early modernisation era of British Railways from 1948 to the 1970s, although any aspect of vintage railway operations is grist to the mill as long as it is well-researched and written. The camera, we are told, never lies, but it can be 'economical with the truth, so BRILL's remarkable team of contributors paint a bigger picture, with extended and informed captions bringing to life the classic black and white photography that constitutes the bulk of its content. Featuring a colour cover, 56 pages of text and, typically, 60-70 high quality black and white images, most issues include maps and plans/diagrams where appropriate. 'History with a good helping of nostalgia' is its hallmark with some humour thrown in.

RAILWAY BYLINES, now in its 26th year. Colour cover, 56 pages of text and, like British Railways Illustrated, some 60-70 high quality black and white images. There are maps and plans/diagrams in most issues. Subject matter is wide ranging and the BYLINES in the title is very deliberate; homely branch lines serving villages and country towns, industrial lines serving mills, foundries, works, quarries, mines and ports, together with their often ancient locomotives and their correspondingly elderly and eccentric stock

Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to wish all readers a happy New Year fcom everyone here at Guideline, and especially from George Reeve, our designer, and myself, your newly-arrived Editor. George and I have worked together for some years now on our other railway titles, and prior to that he co-edited and designed the two Irwell titles from their inception, so is no stranger to what is due to a loyal readership.
I would like to thank my predecessor, John, for all the help and guidance over the past twelve months while I have been understudying him, and especially for his patience with my inability to navigate his digital files. The best way to learn, of course, is on the job, and I hope I have grasped the rudiments of how the REVIEW comes together each month. Going forward I am keen to speak to any potential contributors, to feature more layouts, and I will be making efforts to book Guideline into some of the shows and exhibitions this year, so I hope to meet some of you during 2026.
This issue offers the usual mixed bag of modelling and reference, with a welcome return to Trevor Hughes' Pendre, and some notes on the construction of buildings and scenery, a look back at the Chatterden & Upnor Railway by Sydney Leleux, and an excellent discussion on figure painting by Tim Shackleton - one of those modelling articles that will really make a difference to many.
In the meantime we will welcome your feedback at the editorial address.
