Synopsis

Model Railways on a Budget

Author: Cyril Freezer

For many people, and particularly for younger enthusiasts, cost determines tow deeply they can become involved in a hobby or pastime. This often seems especially true with model railways, where expensive-leaking, magnificently turned-out layouts at exhibitions can seem so far out of reach as to be mere dreams. But they need not be.

In this book a top model railway expert shares dozens of practical cost-cutting tips on tools and materials, track and power supplies, scenery and structures and also shows how to save money on locos and rolling stock without sacrificing quality or authenticity. Your 'budget' layout can look as good, often better, than those created from unlimited funds and even readers with cash to spend will find plenty of ways to make it go further.

Budget-conscious model railway enthusiasts of all ages and levels of experience will find countless valuable pointers within these pages and most will find that this attractively presented book, which includes numerous colour photographs of major layouts, will save its own modest cost many times over!

Cyril Freezer is a former editor of Railway-Modeller and is well known for his many previous model railway publications. A keen layout builder for many years, he has always been particularly concerned that the enthusiast with limited funds should not be intimidated by the high price of many commercial railway products.
