N GAUGE NOW: THE MAGAZINE was launched by Engee Publishing following the overwhelmingly positive response we received to the publication in November 2013 of the N GAUGE NOW Premier Issue, which was created as a 2014 "annual" aimed at all UK N gauge modellers.

Within weeks of publication, the Engee office was inundated with letters and emails from readers praising our efforts and demanding to know when the next issue would be out. As one reader wrote: "Please make it a regular publication - I don't want to wait a whole year for the next one!"

N GAUGE NOW: THE MAGAZINE is published four times a year.

N GAUGE NOW: THE MAGAZINE is edited by HOWARD FOY, a professional journalist and and author of N GAUGE MODELLING: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE and other related N Gauge publications, and ROBIN GRUBBA, a leading N Gauge modeller for more than 20 years with articles published in MODEL RAIL and elsewhere.

ENGEE PUBLISHING was formed in 2008 to publish N GAUGE MODELLING: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE - the first book devoted to the scale for more than 25 years.

PLEASE NOTE: N GAUGE MODELLING: AN INTRODUCTORY GUIDE IS NOW SOLD OUT

Following on from the book's success, other publications for N Gauge modellers have followed, and yet more are in the pipeline when time and resources allow.
