For a beginner to model railway layout and running this is the must book. Covers everything from initial layout through to baseboards, scenery construction and running. Also very up to date with DCC. Lots of information also for the 'old hands'!

Best Model Railway Book I Have Read February 24, 2010

I have bought this book after viewing the authors website. The site is very useful but having a book in your hand when you are working on something as intricate as a model railway is a great help. It is the first book that I have came across which treats you as an adult. the book is written in both an expressive and interesting way that allows you to grasp the theory very quickly. I found the step by step photographs along with the simple text a great help. There have been many books written about this subject over the years (and I have bought quite a few of them) but this example is by far the most informative. If you are thinking of taking up this wonderful hobby then I strongly suggest you buy this book and learn the basics the correct way from the start.

This is a first class book, that everyone who is new to railway modelling should read. It is easy to understand and the diagrams are easy to follow. Many things that might have caused a beginner problems are explained in detail, especially for example, the wiring of points when using DCC. I read the book from cover to cover as soon as it arrived. A very good read and certainly worth the money.

This is a great book for anyone starting out or resuming model railways.
It is easy to read and the complexities of the electrical side of things is explained clearly and with plenty of illustrations.
DCC is also dealt with in some detail
It is the kind of book you will go back to time and again, more of a handbook, but still a good read in itself. The author has a website where you can contact him with questions and observations and there is a useful list of websites in the back of the book.
I will be hanging on to my copy!
