Modelling Historic Railways

Plot

Modelling a real rather than an imaginary prototype is considerably more challenging than simply throwing a layout together. Yet this book, drawing upon the auhtor's personal experiences of modelling the Settle and Carlisle line, guides even the beginner to the hobby towards 'a consistemt course of action' and the creation of an authentic layout. Encompassing, as it does, the search for a modelling philosophy, the historical research and even details of train sequencing and timetable planning, this book demonstrates how the 'authentic historical' approach can be the most rewarding form of reailway modelling.
