The 1990s was a period of great change for the UK's railway system as privatisation was implemented with British Rail broken up into dozens of train companies that were then sold off. Among the many effects was an explosion in colourful liveries as new operators sought to make their mark, both on passenger and freight services. This eagerly awaiting to the popular Modelling British Railways series traces the development of the many diesel and electric classes through the decade as they transitioned from BR to private ownership, showing how to model key types in a variety of colour schemes while detailing their operational history and the types of rolling stock that can be run with them to create realistic layouts.
