Guideline Publications has years of experience in the printing and publishing industry.
We expanded our operation a few years ago when we took over the successful magazine Scale Aircraft Modelling. Since taking over SAM and continuing to develop this title we have also taken on both Military Modelcraft International and Toy Soldier Collector from their original owners. Guideline now publish these titles along with a number of "Warpaint" and other aviation books.
Guideline prides itself on high quality publishing, and we're sure if you take a look at any of our titles you'll agree when it comes to hobby publications you need look no further than Guideline.

BRITISH RAILWAYS ILLUSTRATED, now approaching its 30th year and long known by its cheerful acronym 'BRILL'. Colour cover, 56 pages of text and, typically, 60-70 high quality black and white images.
There are maps and plans/diagrams in most issues. 'History with a good helping of nostalgia' is its hallmark with some humour thrown in; concentrates on the steam and early modernisation era of British Railways, 1948 to the 1970s (diesel and electric) but also features subjects and themes from the 1930s and the Second World War.


RAILWAY BYLINES, now in its 25th year.
A magazine celebrating Britain's Light Railways, Industrial Systems, Country Lines and Narrow Gauge.
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.
