Take your modelling to a higher level

Continuing the successful tradition of the bestselling First Steps in Railway Modelling, leading modeller and model-railway writer Chris Ellis’s long-awaited sequel takes newcomers to the hobby onto the next level of proficiency.

Whereas its predecessor provided an essential basic introduction to modelling for complete beginners, this lavishly illustrated volume will be welcomed for the extraordinary amount of additional information on modelling techniques which it contains.

Among the many topics covered by the book are: issues of gauge and scale; improving and detailing locomotives and rolling stock; layout planning; techniques to build better scenery; electrical wiring; and advice on how to operate your railway in a realistic fashion. Certain to be a much referred-to addition to every railway modeller’s library.
