Modeling Narrow Gauge Railways - Peco book (eBook) is currently on sale at PocketMags for £4.99 down from £9.99

This is quite a handy reference for somebody like me who is new back to the hobby, and filled in quite a few gaps.

I am not sure that it is something I will be going back to regularly so the eBook format works well, I can read it during zoom calls and it looks to the rest as if I am paying attention to them.

P.S. I can save particularly useful pages by "printing to pdf" and store the away with my other railway notes  ;)

Have you read "Narrow Gauge Modelling in 009 Scale by Bob Barnard, it's full of useful tips and some projects on loco and stock building improvements. Also the "County Gate" model railway website is very good.

Yes it was one of the first things I bought when I got back into the Hobby. I love the books by that publisher, and also have 'Modeling Narrow Gauge in Small Scales', 'Modelling Branch Lines', 'Creating the Rural Scene"  and several on weathering, Airbrushing, etc. My latest was another Chris Ford one "Modelling the Welsh Narrow Gauge Railways".
The are not somethin I would normally read from cover to cover, but always worth going back to every now and again for 15 minutes or so :-)
The website is a new one to me, I will head over there as soon as I press "Post"

I know this is an old thread, but I have this book which is really good, with a lot of real world prototype examples.
