Do you enjoy running model trains but want to improve your layout? Do you want to gain expertise over a wider range of railway modelling skills and acquire the confidence to tackle modelling tasks that you have previously shied away from?

This well-illustrated volume, brimming with advice and tips, covers a wide range of modelling skills, including those concerning designing a layout, choosing the right scale, building baseboards, selecting the right track, controlling the trains, building the landscape, making realistic grass and weeds and adding figures. Particular attention is paid to more modern techniques relating, for example, to DCC train control, laser cut and downloadable kits, and the use of hard foam in baseboard construction. Step-by-step explanations of many techniques are provided and the text is accompanied over 400 instructional colour photographs. Moreover, information is provided about the tools and materials that are required and the extensive range of commercial railway modelling products that is now available. This informative, up-to-date book guides the modeller through many of the essential railway modelling skills, shows how enjoyable it can be to learn new techniques and demonstrates that it has never seem easier to make good-looking railway layout of which the modeller can be truly proud.
