A monthly magazine, "Model Trains", was published by Airfix from January 1980. The magazine included especially good articles aimed at newcomers to the hobby and also included many articles about modelling US and Continental European railways, as well British prototype railways. The publication of "Model Trains" continued for some years after Airfix ceased ownership in 1981. A change in the editorial team saw the original "Model Trains" editorial staff launch a new title as "Scale Trains", in April 1982. A slight name change followed in April 1984, as "Scale Model Trains" following the final issue of "Model Trains" in December 1983. "Scale Model Trains" ran until June 1995, when a new publisher was found and the magazine was relaunched in 1995 as "Model Trains International", the November/December issue being issue number 1. It continues to be published.
