Have you ever dreamed of building a model of a favourite railway station for your layout, whether it be a modest branch line station, or a large town terminus? Have you ever wanted to re-create a beautiful station that you have seen at a railway modelling exhibition, or in a magazine, and felt that you needed a helping hand? If so, this is the book for you. Ian Lamb, a modeller of enormous experience, demonstrates how almost anybody, regardless of their modelling skills, can construct a pleasing and presentable model railway station in even a quite limited amount of space. Six specific UK stations, some real and some fictional, are selected as modelling case studies and the author provides detailed, practical information about different aspects of their construction. Throughout the book the author provides step-by-step guidance and illustrations and emphasizes how - with patience- modelling skills, confidence and ambition can all be improved over time. Moreover, he is ever mindful of how costs should be kept down to reasonable levels and reveals how materials and tools can often be the most simple and inexpensive of everyday household items.

First Steps in Railway Modelling: The Bachmann Way is based on the late Cyril Freezer's popular guide First Steps in Railway Modelling, which was first published in 1988 and provided a completely practical guide to starting out as a newcomer to railway modelling. As one would expect from the former editor of the magazine Railway Modeller, his book is a brilliant first steps guide to all the many complexities of the hobby, from baseboard construction, planning and laying out the track, to creating realistic scenery, plus a whole host of topics essential to the beginner at railway modelling. Although more than 20 years old, the book remains as relevant today as it was when it was first published and is now being reprinted with a new chapter on the one major area of omission from the original; the arrival of Digital Control Command (DCC) which has rapidly become the standard on model railway layouts. Apart from the new section giving practical advice on implementing DCC, there is additional material on weathering and track plans and a significant number of images in the main section of the book will be replaced and updated and the usefulness of the book will be hugely increased by the introduction of colour for the first time. A brilliant buy for all those wanting a practical, hands on, how-to guide to the subject.

R306 Discovery Miles 3 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Sharpening workshop tools is probably the most diverse of all workshop activities and the one that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This is not unreasonable in view of the wide range of equipment suggested for the task, ranging from the complex, typically an industrial tool and cutter grinder, through to the humble off hand grinder. This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories, whilst doing this to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment. A lack of understanding of the processes almost certainly results in the workshop owner attempting tasks with far from perfect cutting tools that can diminish the satisfaction of a job well done. With the information in this book this situation can be avoided and working with blunt tooling should be a thing of the past.

Some years ago the author, Jim Forrest, a professional engineer and model engineer of many years' experience, needed a purpose-built and relatively inexpensive workshop for his hobby.

This book was written as a complete work on the construction methods used. It not only contains the details required to build the floor assembly, walls and roof, but also covers all of the peripheral areas including layout, planning regulations, tools, materials, fitting out, security and insurance. The design is easily adaptable and most variants are covered including several floor types, lean-to construction etc., and illustrative drawings are used extensively to show precisely how the building is detailed.
