About this title

Synopsis

For Britain’s growing band of model railway enthusiasts, a garden railway is the ultimate challenge. In this inspirational book Richard Blizzard guides you through 19 garden railway projects, from laying the track and making simple trackside accessories through to constructing a 16mm-gauge live steam engine from a kit, various rolling stock and a locomotive roundhouse and turntable.

The projects are presented using hundreds of step-by-step colour photographs and accompanied by full cutting lists and assembly drawings. In addition, the author provides an overview of some tools that modellers new to garden railways may find helpful and a useful list of addresses for suppliers.

Whether new to the hobby or seasoned enthusiast, anyone interested in building a garden railway will find this book full of great ideas, useful tips and friendly encouragement.
