Synopsis:

First published in 1990, and revised and re-illustrated for this new edition, this invaluable book is an essential manual for would-be or established modellers of the GWR. After a brief history of the company, it describes locomotives and rolling-stock, together with liveries and detailing hints, as well as diesel railcars, stations, signalling, trackwork, road vehicles and much more, including sample layout plans.

Synopsis: Locomotives, rolling stock, signalling, trackwork, buildings and line side features are all discussed in this book in terms of how they can best be modelled. It also gives information on the proprietary models and kits available. The prime interest in the GWR seems to be in the 1930s. The contents of the book inevitably reflect this, but it also includes the broad gauge era and the individuality of Brunel's GWR. Notes on liveries and suggested track-plans with a GWR flavour complete a thorough guide for the budding or established Great Western Railway modeller.
