Before beginning construction work on a model railway it is essential to have a workable design. The plan needs to take into account the space, time, budget and personal skills available, as well as the type of railway to be modelled. Here, Cyril Freezer draws on more than 50 years experience in designing and building model railways to explain how each stage should be undertaken. Includes 150 specially-drawn track layout diagrams.

This review is from: Model Railway Design Manual (Hardcover)
The book is nice in terms of content and presentation, well illustrated with good tips and detail. I am very much into Euopean HO modeling therefore found the book interesting.
I was dissappointed because there is not a single color illustration and the enrite book is black & white which represents a rather cheap reproduction of the excellent content, by the publishing company for the price of the book.
