DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
The appeal of a model railway layout is universal. The hobby exerts a strong fascination on people of all ages and backgrounds, and a layout is both interesting and enjoyable to set up and operate.
In this book, Dave Lowery, editor of Model Railways magazine and a renowned railway modeller, presents an introduction and comprehensive guide to the hobby. He covers scales and gauges, prototypes, plans, layout construction, housebuilding and scenics, wagons, steam locomotives, electric rolling stock, prototype details, such as signals, people, cars and lorries, and he concludes with a Glossary and Appendices. The book is illustrated throughout with black and white photographs, and a colour section which includes pictures of finished layouts, as well as a step-by-step construction sequence.
Model Railways will appeal to beginners and more experienced modellers and will be valued as an indispensable reference on the hobby.
