4.0 out of 5 stars Informative,knowledgeable reference book for all levels, 11 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Originally titled " How to go Railway Modelling", this book has everything the budding Railway Modeller could possibly need to commence their chosen hobby. The book covers all aspects of the hobby, from the initial choice of gauge/scale against Available Space, and the necessary materials required; to the ultimate choice of Railway practise and signalling procedures ! All major electrical "problems" are highlighted, and there are several track plans shown to excite the reader into planning their own. A brief history of the hobby is present, as well as up-to-date reviews of all the various rolling stock currently available in the various gauges. The book also covers such topics as baseboard and scenery construction; terminus vs continuous loop layouts; outdoor railways; rolling stock and acceptable accessories. All areas are accompanied by photographs of some superb layouts, with some excellent close-ups for illustration purposes. Really this is an inspirational must for all Model Railway enthusiasts, whether for the complete beginner, or for the "semi-pro" who needs some new ideas !

4.0 out of 5 stars If your thinking about a model railway... Buy this., 29 April 2002
By malcwalker@hotmail.com (Plymouth, Devon UK) - See all my reviews
I feel the book is directed at those who are considering a model railway. You need to sit down and digest the information gradually, if you do this it will actually help you to make the various decisions neccessary in how to go about it. I was in this position and was helped immensly. Its disadvantage is that should you decide to choose a scale other than 00 then it doesn't help you so much.
There are lots of interesting facts contained within the pages and some nice photographs to inspire you. If you buy the book, read a couple of chapters and then visit a model railway exibition.
