| | The hobby of railway modelling has, in recent years, undergone an exciting period of development that has opened up new possibilities and dramatically raised standards of quality and realism. Spearheaded by the internationally recognised British Finescale' movement and made possible by new manufacturing techniques and materials, today's models are more refined, more authentic and over a far wider choice of subjects. This book explores the modern hobby and the opportunities it presents for creating model railways that look stunningly realistic and function with unmatched sophistication. Contents:
