"Want
to build a model railway but don't know where to start?"Start here...
Presenter Ian Morton is a regular contributor
to Hornby Magazine and has a number of model railway books
to his credit.
Using ready-to-run trains and other ready-to-use
models along with materials available from DIY stores, Ian
shows how you can build a satisfying layout without any special
tools or skills. All aspects from building the baseboard to
scenery and basic operation are covered.
Ian explains how to lay the track, connect
it up and make it look more realistic. He shows how to create
hills, roads and greenery to provide a scenic setting for
your trains. With the addition of a backscene and detail items
the layout is then transformed into a realistic scene.
The disc also includes two "pdf"
files to be read on your home computer. These will give you
even more details and in-depth coverage of the topics. They
explain how you can operate trains realistically. and also
show the construction of a second layout.
This DVD does not assume any prior knowledge
and makes a perfect introduction to the fascinating and rewarding
hobby of railway modelling.
Here's a preview of what to expect.
