5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable British humor
Altho I have enjoyed Garben RRing for years I still got a kick out of this book. It has many great thoughts for the beginning GRRer but for us that has been doing this for a while it is just refreshing reading.

This book just wasn't for me unfortunately. Perhaps it was too wordy for my humble mind but I felt it tried to cover too much and didn't get into enough detail on anything. Also for a US based garden railroader the emphasis was more on the UK scene and I think was aimed at more "advanced" railroaders such as those using live steam.
