Small Layout Design Handbook

In this book James Hilton takes a new look at the subject of small model railway layout design from a fresh and personal perspective, punctuated with examples of his own modelling and worked examples. Profusely illustrated with photographs, sketches and plans, the book takes us through completed projects, design considerations and sources of inspiration, before presenting 24 practical layout ideas to either follow, or provide inspiration for your own ideas. The beauty of a small layout is the relative speed in which results can be achieved and its comparative low cost. For those with an interest in many and varied prototypes, it offers a way to engage and enjoy as many of these as possible, without being locked into a lifetime layout build. For others it is the opportunity to practice a new skill or indulge in a different scale.
