Book excerpt: Modelling the Great Western Branch Lines is essential reading for all those who wish to build a model railway based on the branch lines of the Great Western Railway. The author guides the modeller through projects which are graded from simple to more advance. Each step is clearly described, explaining the techniques used and how alternative methods and materials could be employed. Topics covered include a historical overview of the subject; full listings of all tools and materials; a series of detailed model projects using the best of the currently available commercial model making products; an introduction to scratch-building lineside terms and, finally, suggestions as to how each project could be further developed. It is superbly illustrated with 234 colour and black & white photographs giving step-by-step techniques. Chris Ford has been a keen railway modeller since childhood; many of his model layouts feature in the model railway press.
