This was excellent value for money and made my Xmas to see my father-in-law's face when he realised I'd managed to find the book he'd been after to "complete" his love of his model railway.

A must for every beginner. It clears a lot of terms in terms of hobby. In other words concepts behind this hobby are easier to understand. Can be used as a guide line material. The ideas are clear, crisp and concise.

Basically an advertisment for Hornby railways and their stock. Okay, I know that it does say Hornby, but the implication is that it is a bit of a guide to building a model railway that one can use to create something special. This is not the case at all. Whilst each topic is covered - stock, layout, scenery and buildings, there is nothing in any depth that after an initial read hasn't been absorbed. It would be very little use as a reference book for techniques or a book that you would constantly refer back to as required. Nope. This is a simple taster book aimed at young folk who are just getting an itch to build. Well produced and very glossy, but overall, not that useful.
