Book Reviews of Railway Modelling: The complete guide
Book Review: Model railroading continues to be a popular pastime activity for railroading buffs of all ages.
Summary: 5 Stars
Even in this age of computer games and video entertainment, model railroading continues to be a popular pastime activity for railroading buffs of all ages. "Railway Modelling: The Realistic Way" by Iain Rice is a beautifully illustrated, 352-page, 'reader friendly' guide to the complexities, sophistication, and excitement of every aspect of modeling railroading and ranges from all manner of rolling stock; track layouts, the technical aspects of wiring and signaling; scales and standards, and so much more. Of special interest is the chapter devoted to 'Motive Power'. Enhanced with an extensive glossary of terms and abbreviations, an Index, a Booklist, and a roster of thematically appropriate websites, "Railway Modelling" is an informed and informative addition to both personal and community library model railroad reference shelves and supplemental lists for non-specialist general readers with an interest in the history and practice of model railroading.
Summary of Railway Modelling: The complete guide
Railway modeling is as popular as ever today. Its diversity and richness of interest - often with a degree of nostalgia - make the hobby the ideal antidote to the stresses of modern life. This book, a completely new version of Norman Simmons' long-lived Railway Modelling, first published in 1972 and updated through eight editions, is the ideal companion for today's railway modeler, as it combines traditional modeling techniques and advice with full details of all the new technology that has transformed the hobby in recent years. There can be no better handbook for any model railway enthusiast, novice or expert.
