About this product

Product Information

N gauge is the most rapidly expanding of all the model railway formats and if you want to take advantage of its huge potential, then this is the book for you. The author explains exactly what N gauge is, its history, its advantages and some of its possible disadvantages. He begins with a train set and progresses through choosing a prototype and designing a layout, to a practical demonstration of how to build a baseboard, to designs for open-topped baseboards and fiddle yards. Topics covered include: The different track products that are available and the differences between sectional and flexible track How to lay track, cut it to size, join it, and connect it between baseboards The terminology of turnouts and the different ways to operate them The differences between DC and DCC control, and how to get power to the track Wiring for turnouts and isolation sections Types of ballasting and advice on how to apply and fix loose ballast Ready-to-run rolling stock available in N gauge as well as kit building and conversion of locomotives to DCC Couplers, from the traditional types to the latest designs such as knuckle couplers and close coupling mechanisms Modelling the railway infrastructure, such as platforms and signal boxes, how to make realistic rural and urban scenery, and how to bring your layout to life by adding details such as people, road vehicles and signs AUTHOR: Richard Bardsley is an experienced small-layout builder in N gauge and 00 gauge, and several of his model railways have been exhibited at shows. He has written over fifty articles in the model railway press, many of which have dealt with designing and planning small-space layouts. For over twelve years Richard has been the editor of the bimonthly N Gauge Society Journal, as well as being a member of the Society's management committee. He demonstrates and promotes N gauge model railways at shows and also designs and produces his own N gauge wagons kits. 285 colour photographs

    A must-have book!

    If like me, you are new to N gauge modelling then this is the perfect book. It covers just about everything from the history and origins of the gauge, track layout, rolling stock, scenery and buildings right up to ‘weathering’ techniques (ageing and adding character to your models and layout). All of the information is presented in a very readable way and is backed-up by lots of shiny, colour photographs. This book is so good, l can’t put it down! Right now, l am seriously considering buying this author’s other book entitled ‘Designing and Building Fiddle Yards: A Complete Guide for Railway Modellers’.

  • Great guide to N gauge modelling

    This book is very well written and is so informative for novices of N gauge, right up to those who are well established in the hobby. The book is full of great photos, giving a pictorial step by step account of the helpful information given, to help anyone progress with their own N gauge layouts. I thoroughly enjoyed this book which is an easy read, with easy to follow ideas and suggestion and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in model railways.

  • An excellent and informative book about N gauge for a beginner

    I knew a little about N gauge and wanted to update myself and learn more. I think the book is excellent value and well written and very informative. I am enjoying the history of N gauge couplings - who would have thought it! I have already started searching for more detailed books on certain aspects of the hobby. But in fairness, I know you could build a competent layout from the information contained and using the extra references that are littered throughout the book.

  • A good introduction to N gauge modelmaking

    This book is very useful. It covers both very basic information as well as more detailed and aspirational matters. It sets out details of the tools needed as well as showing how ti use them effectively and what ispossible in N gauge.
