A Beginner’s Guide To Railway Modelling By W.A.Corkhill.
Hardcover 1982
Following the success of his Railway Modelling – An Introduction, Alan Corkill has written this guide to the basic steps in modelling railways. Beginners need to know how to plan their activities, to allow for future developments, and to obtain the best possible return for their time and money. Those who follow the advice and the descriptions given in this volume will learn many secrets of railway-like realism, trouble-free operation and unlimited pleasure, right from the start.
Railway modelling is a popular and ever-expanding hobby, with educational and therapeutic value, the world over. Artistic and technical problems, techniques and methods of construction or of operation are universal and international, and the author has made good use of his wide experience in modelling, and in writing about, British, European and North American railways. The pictures have been specially selected to illustrate points made in the text, and they help to make this a leisure-time companion no beginner can possibly afford to miss.
