NEWS:

  • The Model Railway Journal Index site was last updated on 2nd June, 2025 and is current through to issue No. 301.
  • Apologies for the recent break in service, our hosting provider upgraded a key piece of software to the latest version (php7) and blocked the old version (php5) due to security issues. This has meant upgrading a good proportion of the code base as certain functions were no longer available. Hopefully it future proofs the service with future software upgrades.If you notice any problems, please alert the site administrator using the feedback page.
  • We are now working on the backlog and hope to have the index up to date with the currently published issue over the next few weeks.
