Railway modelling is as popular as ever today. Its diversity and richness of interest - often with a degree of nostalgia - make the hobby the ideal antidote to the stresses of modern life. This book, a completely new version of Norman Simmons' long-lived "Railway Modelling", first published in 1972 and updated through eight editions, is the ideal companion for today's railway modeller, as it combines traditional modelling techniques and advice with full details of all the new technology that has transformed the hobby in recent years. There can be no better handbook for any model railway enthusiast, novice or expert.
Iain Rice is one of Britain's best-known model railway authors with 17 books to his credit. He is a regular contributor to British and American model railway magazines, for which he produces his own diagrams and illustrations. He is a highly respected railway modeller with more than 40 years' experience, and lives in Devon.
All aspects of building a model railway layout: planning, building a baseboard, laying track, installing wiring. Adding the detail: signalling, scenery, stations and other railway structures. Scales, gauges and standards explained. Locomotives: availability of ready-to-run models, building from kits, adding detail and realism. Rolling stock: carriages and wagons, ready-to-run or kits, coupling systems, choosing the right stock for the era and locality being modelled. Control and operation: using computers, the pros and cons of Digital Command Control (DCC), point control and switching, working with timetables, shunting. Pre-Grouping railways, the 'Big Four' railways, the British Rail era, the present-day - plus steam, diesel and electric traction. Glossary of technical terms.
