Hornby Magazine September issue 159 – Modelling Guide – Southern Region
Posted in General, tagged Hornby Magazine, Southern, Southern Railway, Southern Region on August 6, 2020| 7 Comments »
Published today is the September issue of Hornby Magazine no.159. included with the main magazine is a 32 page supplement “Modelling Guide – Southern Region.”
The initial 6 page article settinging the scene and historical background to the Southern Region has been penned by yours truly!
It was quite a challenge to keep such a wide subject within the word count and give an overview of the Southern, but hopefully I have managed to provide a suitable introduction…
The guide also includes useful articles such as:
- typical Southern Region train formations that can be modelled using ready to run stock,
- an explanation of the Southern Region Engine Head Signals and some examples of their use,
- 20 Southern top tips highlighting the signatures of the Southern and how to model them, including EMUs, concrete, pull push, third rail,named trains, art deco / odeon architecture and more
- a comprehensive motive power survey detailing all the ready to run locomotives currently available or due for release soon.
Hopefully the Magazine that also looks again at editor MIke Wild’s own extensive Southern Region layout Twelve Trees Junction, that I had the pleasure to operate at exhibitions, and the modellers guide will be of interest and use for modellers of the Southern as well as the Southern Region.

This weekend, 23rd and 24th November, is the annual, self styled National Model Railway Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham organised by the Warley Model Railway Club. It has become a major event in the model railway calendar with a large number and wide of layouts along with many associated trade stands, the key manufacturers and model railway press all present.

As has become usual the last few years I shall be at the show all weekend with Mike Wild editor of Hornby Magazine on their stand A44. Every year Mike has one of his many layouts on the Hornby Magazine stand A44, however this year there will be an extra special display with not one but four layouts and they will all be in different gauges too! Two of which will be making their public debut, assuming that Mike manages to actually finish them on time, he does like a deadline…
The first, very much complete layout, in 00 gauge will be my very own Canute Road Quay and it will be joined on the stand by: in N Gauge Barrenthorpe Shed, in 009 a narrow gauge Lynton and Barnstaple style terminus, and in 0 gauge (the magazines very first 7mm exhibition layout) a diesel depot scene. The latter two are so new they don’t even have a name yet!
Livery sample of the Hornby upcoming LSWR Warner brake van, note the fixed side lamps
One of the items that will no doubt be on show on the Hornby stand (not the Hornby Magazine stand) will be the livery samples of their forthcoming ex LSWR/SR/BR(s) Warner 20 ton goods brake van that was announced as being part of their 2019 range in January.
75 of this type of van were built between 1915 and 1921.
The SR version note lamp irons and different ducket style
They were known to staff as ‘New Vans’ a name which they kept well into the 1950’s! They were up-rated to 24T by the Southern Railway and became SR Diagram 1543.
I was able last month to take a sneaky look at these samples and take a couple of quick snaps of both the LSWR and SR versions on Canute Road Quay.
Six versions will initially be available:
- R6911 – No. 9646, in LSWR goods brown livery
- R6911A – No. 5359, in LSWR goods brown livery
- R6913 – No. 55062, in SR Pre 1936 goods brown livery
- R6913A – No. 55009, in SR Pre 1936 goods brown livery
- R6915 – No. S55040, in BR unfitted grey livery
- R6915 – No. S55032, in BR unfitted grey livery
Although the show is considered by some a bit of a Marmite show (and who does not love Marmite!) I believe it is still well worth a visit and compared to other hobbies / events still a good value for money day out.
It is a chance to see inspirational modelling in every scale and gauge from across the UK and even Europe along with the major manufacturers and traders all under one roof.
If you are coming along at the weekend, please make sure you drop by the Hornby Magazine stand A44 have a look at Canute Road Quay and a natter. I look forward to seeing you there!
Two weekends and two layouts on the road, Canute Road Quay and Fisherton Sarum

OK so I am going to refrain from using the bus analagy… oh dam.. I just might have… oh well! The next couple of weekends sees firstly Canute Road Quay making an appearance at the the Hornby Magazing Great Electric Train Show over the weekend of 12/13th October and secondly the Saturday after, 19th October, Fisherton Sarum is making currently its last booked show appearance at the Beckenham and West Wickham MRC exhibition, (that’s not to say it will be the last exhibition outing, but just that I haven’t any other bookings for it and I haven’t been pushing it too much whilst I have Canute Road Quay to play with).

The Hornby Magazine Great Electric Train Show on the 12th and 13th October, is again for its second year being held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes which is a much larger venue enabling wider aisles and better circulation around the layouts. Canute Road Quay featured in the April ’19 issue of Hornby Magazine and will be located with the magazines own area within the show along with the magazines own West Coast Cement layout. Also at the show is friend, modeller, soon to be published author and often found operating Canute Road Quay and / or Fisherton Sarum (but not at this show obvisoulsy) Simon Paley with his splendid Norwood Road layout set in south London representing the current scene.
The Marshall Arena is at Stadium MK, Stadium Way, Milton Keynes, MK1 1ST and is open to the public 10am-5pm on Saturday and from 10am-4pm on Sunday. Further details can be found on the dedicated website for the show here. Free parking is available at the venue and for those arriving by rail, a free shuttle bus will be running half-hourly from 9am between Milton Keynes Central station and the Great Electric Train Show.
Drummond 0-4-4T M7 No. 243 has just shunted the ash wagon for filling by the gang.
Once again it will be good to exhibit Fisherton Sarum within Southern Railway territory even not quite the South Western section. The Beckenham and West Wickham MRC on the 19th October is being held at the St John’s Church, Eden Park Avenue, Beckenham, Kent BR3 3JN. It wil l be open to the public between 10am and 5pm and will have at least eleven other layouts on show along with trade support at this pleasent show. Further details can be found here on the Beckenham and West Wickham MRC website
As always if you are planning on coming along to either show please drop by and say hello, it is always a pleasure to meet and chat with readers of this blog.
