Adding Realism To Your Model Railway

by Michael Andress

However electronically advanced, operationally complex, expensively equipped your model railway layout may be, there is often one elusive ingredient without which it will never come to life - realism. In this fascinating book, model railway expert Michael Andress shares with you the secrets of achieving a wide range of realistic effects. How to collect ideas from the 'real thing' and translate them into the model environment. How to detail and whether locomotives and rolling stock, construct natural looking scenery, authentic buildings, lifelike figures - even how to model snow and ice. All these techniques and more are described and illustrated with amazing photographs which will make you look at least twice and ask 'is it a model or is it real?'
