4.0 out of 5 stars Want a model railway but don't know where to start?, 13 April 2003

By	"dreamgenius" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Cyril Freezer is perhaps the first model railway author that any one reads and he is quite extensively published. Not only that but he has a style that is easy to follow.

His books all deal with the basic areas of the hobby and this is no exception but it is focussed on planning, starting and more importantly completing a model railway. Throughout the book, descriptions are augmented by clear diagrams.

If you are considering a model railway layout and don't know where to start, you could do worse than invest in this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very informative book, 23 Aug 2002

By	"huwhenley" - See all my reviews

A very informative book with very hepful hints helps with ideas and layouts. Mostly using diagrams and lacking good colour photographs it gives the reader the basics and then leaves the reader to use their imagination to complete the layout.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide for the all modellers, 16 Aug 1999

By A Customer

As well as covering baseboard construction and topics commonly found in books on model railways, this book also covers prototypical operations, explaining how sidings and loops are used in real life, helping you plan your layout. I'd thoroughly recommend this book to anyone planning to build a layout.
