2.0 out of 5 stars Very Limited, 30 Aug 2008
By M. G. Chisholm "chiefengineer3" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Basically an advertisment for Hornby railways and their stock. Okay, I know that it does say Hornby, but the implication is that it is a bit of a guide to building a model railway that one can use to create something special. This is not the case at all. Whilst each topic is covered - stock, layout, scenery and buildings, there is nothing in any depth that after an initial read hasn't been absorbed. It would be very little use as a reference book for techniques or a book that you would constantly refer back to as required. Nope. This is a simple taster book aimed at young folk who are just getting an itch to build. Well produced and very glossy, but overall, not that useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hornby Model Railway, 2 Feb 2009
By J. Collier - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was excellent value for money and made my Xmas to see my father-in-law's face when he realised I'd managed to find the book he'd been after to "complete" his love of his model railway.
