I've just downloaded a digital version of this (not sure if the paper version is available yet) and had a quick look at the contents and the good news is that the feature layout is a 1980s N gauge layout with a power station.

I think this magazine would be useful for anyone starting out as they go though the whole layout building process.

It's worth having a look at next time you are in WH Smiths. It costs £6.99.
