This valuable new addition to the Aspects of Modelling series will give modelers of all abilities, and particularly beginners, all the necessary skills and abilities to perfect all aspects of the signaling on a model railway. Beginning with the basics this volume explains how signaling theory can be replicated in model form. The practicalities of operational semaphore and MAS signaling are given full and practical coverage. Beautifully illustrated throughout with vivid, detailed pictures that are ideal for reference, this practical guide provides essential advice for anyone starting out in railway modeling, and also gives many useful hints and tips for experienced modelers on how to enhance a re-created railway scene and achieve the very highest level of accuracy in every layout. This is one title that every modeler should have on the library shelf, and it makes a valuable addition to an excellent modeling series.
