First of
all, it's a great magazine! But don't take our word for it - here are
some recent comments:
"I would like to say
congratulations on producing such a wonderful, easy to read,
informative and well laid out magazine..."
"A quick note to say how
delighted I am to have discovered your new venture. The first two
issues of MR have been read thoroughly. They fill a gap for those of
us interested in modest sized ride-on minatures. I was
impressed by the style of the articles as well as the content..."

Help us map
the UK's Miniature Railways!
In
February 2008 we embarked on an ambitious project to map evey
miniature railway in the country. So far, we've found about 400, but
we know there are many more out there. The map includes commercial
lines, club lines and private lines. Most private lines are included
without contact information, so privacy wil not be affected.
The main map can be found at www.miniature-railway.com/map.pdf
