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.
