It is hard to imagine a model railway layout without a signal box
somewhere along the line. They were, after all, the most numerous
of the steam-era buildings, and some were almost as old as the
railways themselves, dating back to the mid-1800s. With the
increased availability of signal box kits and ready-to-site
versions, this book provides an invaluable and timely guide to just
which box is right for your layout. More than twenty model signal
boxes are featured in actual layout locations in the book along
with forty kits and projects from Alphagraphix and Bilteezi to the
latest in downloads and laser-cut kits, specially constructed with
detailed and illustrated step-by-step instructions. Tips, hints and
useful advice on tools and adhesives is offered along with how to
scratch-build your own signal boxes using different methods and
materials.
Creating a diorama offers modellers a chance to display their
figures and vehicles in a realistic setting, often providing a
'snapshot' of a moment in history. This book provides step-by-step
instructions on how to plan, design and build a diorama and is
suitable for new and more experienced modellers. With over 270
colour photographs, it considers all scales from 1/87 (H0) to 1/32
and their implications for the diorama builder. The importance of
research to ensure historical accuracy is emphasized. Advice is
given on the creation of dioramas in different scales and sizes. It
demonstrates the techniques required to achieve effective results
for landscapes, terrain and vegetation. Finally, examples are
included from the Napoleonic Wars, American Civil War, World War I
and World War II.
Many railway modellers include an engine shed somewhere on their
layout. However, all too often the shed is squeezed into a quite
improbable location and is little more than a place to 'park'
engines when they are not in use. This well-illustrated and
comprehensive book, written by an experienced railway modeller,
helps even the beginner to develop a far more realistic approach
and to capture the unforgettable grimy but exciting atmosphere of
the locomotive shed in the steam era.
