Recommended Links
There are hundreds of websites listed in the websites section of the site, but most of them are only of fairly specialised interest. This page lists a few selected sites that are particularly recommended by ModelR as being among the best in their field.
Scenic Model Railways
Scenic Model Railways is the website of professional modeller Nevile Reid, and features selections of his work as well as a very useful "Modelling Tips" section where he gives away some of his trade secrets! Definitely worth a visit whether you're a potential customer, looking for advice or just to be inspired by the quality of the work on show.

Cheshire Railway Modellers
Given the number of model railway clubs around, it may seem a bit unfair to pick out just one for mentioning here, but Cheshire Railway Modellers is different in that it's a purely online club - it has no clubroom and no weekly meeting place, but does hold regular events and exhibitions, thus making it more than just an online forum. I particularly like the C.R.M. Wagon's Grand Layout Tour photo gallery!

RMweb
RMweb is probably the largest web-based forum dedicated to UK Model Railways. If you want help or advice on any aspect of the hobby, or just want to be part of a vibrant online community, then this is an essential port of call.

New Railway Modellers
As the name suggests, this is a site aimed specifically at those new to the hobby - although there is a lot here that will be useful to more experienced modellers as well! As well as product reviews and information, the site has an extensive library of "how to" articles covering a wide range of topics.

Model Railway Express
MREMag is an independent news and review website covering primarily OO and N British outline products. The design of the site is a little dated by contemporary standards, but the content is excellent - the news and reviews sections are updated regularly, and the site also has an extensive classified ads section.
