It's a good overview of modelling goods yards and the train consists.
For someone who knew very little about how the yards worked it provided valuable information and the modeller could have a good go at producing a prototypical model both in layout and operation.
I felt that the modelling aspect was a little dated, however they were tried and tested methods that never go wrong.
