Customer Reviews
Want a model railway but don't know where to start?
Cyril Freezer is perhaps the first model railway author that any one reads and he is quite extensively published. Not only that but he has a style that is easy to follow.
His books all deal with the basic areas of the hobby and this is no exception but it is focussed on planning, starting and more importantly completing a model railway. Throughout the book, descriptions are augmented by clear diagrams.
If you are considering a model railway layout and don't know where to start, you could do worse than invest in this book.
A very informative book
A very informative book with very hepful hints helps with ideas and layouts. Mostly using diagrams and lacking good colour photographs it gives the reader the basics and then leaves the reader to use their imagination to complete the layout.
A comprehensive guide for the all modellers
As well as covering baseboard construction and topics commonly found in books on model railways, this book also covers prototypical operations, explaining how sidings and loops are used in real life, helping you plan your layout. I'd thoroughly recommend this book to anyone planning to build a layout.
