If you build portable model railroads or large scale dioramas you will find this book highly useful. Some items covered are:
A decent intro to artistically composing the layout/diorama, not well covered in most works
A practical form of lightweight module construction
Modelling mostly rural English countrysides - not as useful for us urban, desert or forest folk
Scenic compression and backdrops.
Thankfully Wild Swan publishers have finally embraced the 20th (not a typo) century and you can order this from their website.
